The term can be understood in various contexts, including the desire to please God, the importance of pleasing others in a godly manner, and the potential pitfalls of seeking to please people over God.<br><br><b>Pleasing God</b><br><br>The Bible emphasizes the importance of living a life that is pleasing to God. This is often associated with obedience, faith, and righteousness. In <a href="/hebrews/11-6.htm">Hebrews 11:6</a> , it is written, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." This verse highlights that faith is a fundamental requirement for pleasing God, underscoring the necessity of a genuine relationship with Him.<br><br>In the Old Testament, the concept of pleasing God is frequently linked to obedience to His commandments. For instance, in <a href="/1_samuel/15-22.htm">1 Samuel 15:22</a> , the prophet Samuel declares, "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams." Here, the emphasis is on the heart's attitude and the importance of obedience over ritualistic practices.<br><br><b>Pleasing Others</b><br><br>The New Testament also addresses the idea of pleasing others, particularly in the context of Christian community and witness. In <a href="/romans/15-2.htm">Romans 15:2</a> , Paul writes, "Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up." This instruction encourages believers to act in ways that are beneficial and edifying to others, promoting harmony and unity within the body of Christ.<br><br>However, the Bible also warns against the dangers of prioritizing the approval of people over the approval of God. In <a href="/galatians/1-10.htm">Galatians 1:10</a> , Paul poses a rhetorical question: "Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." This verse serves as a reminder that the ultimate allegiance of a believer should be to God, rather than to human opinion or favor.<br><br><b>Pitfalls of People-Pleasing</b><br><br>The desire to please people can lead to compromise and a departure from God's will. In <a href="/john/12-43.htm">John 12:43</a> , it is noted that some leaders "loved praise from men more than praise from God." This highlights the potential for people-pleasing to become an idol, drawing individuals away from their primary commitment to God.<br><br>The Bible encourages believers to maintain a balance, where pleasing others is done in the context of love and service, without compromising one's faith or values. In <a href="/colossians/3-23.htm">Colossians 3:23</a> , Paul advises, "Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men." This instruction reinforces the idea that all actions should ultimately be directed toward pleasing God, even when serving others.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical perspective on "please" encompasses a call to prioritize pleasing God through faith and obedience, while also considering the well-being and edification of others. Believers are encouraged to navigate the tension between pleasing God and pleasing people, ensuring that their actions align with divine principles and reflect a heart devoted to God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
