The only way we can ever please God is by faith. If we have come to God by faith, He is working in us what is well-pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 13:20-21). "But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is" (Hebrews 11:6).
No wonder living by faith pleases God, because He is the one who works faith in our lives. It is by the grace of God that we are saved by faith. "For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8).

Faith is an abiding gift from the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 13:13). "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Therefore, faith comes to you as the gift of God, by the Spirit of God, through the word of God.
Faith is focused upon Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and was raised from the dead. That is good news known as the gospel of Christ. God is well pleased with His Son (Matthew 3:17). We please God by faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Faith is not just mental assent nor human effort. It is a result of the Holy Spirit bringing us to a point of confidence, assurance, and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). We please God, when we live by faith in Christ.
