Pleasing God through works, behavior, obedience?

Pleasing Elohim (Genesis 1:1) through works, behavior, obedience?

What is the KEY to pleasing our Creator and engendering New Covenant relationship with Him for Eternity?

Answer: RELATIONSHIP

The Biblical Truth is that mankind can strive, work, labor, to be sufficiently good, lawful, observant, and die in Hell in vain because until a man or woman initiates New Covenant RELATIONSHIP with the Father by faith in the Son (John 6:29), Jesus Christ, they are NOT family, they are not the recipient of New Covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12).

All that which humanity does and seeks and labors for concerning righteousness and appeasing the divine given conscience will ultimately culminate in vanity and chasing after the wind lest one becomes the Father’s child through faith, belief, in the Son and receives the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor and the Seal of New Covenant relationship (John 3:5; Ephesians 1:13-14).

How does one please Elohim in the New Covenant?

How does one please Elohim in the New Covenant?

Discussion,

If one desires to honor all LAW…they must first comply with the Father’s will by “believing in the One He has sent into the World” to provide humanity atonement for sin (John 6:29) and then receive the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) as Guarantor of New Covenant promise, the Holy Spirit who enlivens the spiritual law written upon the human heart and the Spirit produces divine fruit through them during daily Christian sanctification that honors and complies with all LAW, both spiritual and codified (Galatians 5:16-23).

The New Covenant is NOT about Torah Law or Sinai or Moses or Days or Diets (Galatians 2:16; Romans 6:14; 2 Corinthians 3)….the New Covenant is about intimate relationship with Elohim through faith in the Son, Jesus our Messiah, and sanctification through the Spirit via the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:16).

Elohim provides humanity one Way to please Him through obedience. First, comply with His will concerning the Son, Jesus our Messiah, and “believe in the One He has sent” into the World to provide you blood atonement for your sin (John 6:29); then, receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as eternal Guarantor of Covenant with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) and walk in obedience to the Spirit’s tutelage and anointing (Galatians 5:16) thereby producing “fruit” against which there is no law as the “fruit of the Spirit” fulfills all law (Galatians 5:22-23). This is the only Way to please Elohim in this Life constrained by Time and physics (John 14:6).
