How do we know our actions please God?

Answered in 1 source

Our actions please God when done from a heart motivated by love for Christ.

Actions that please God are not merely those that conform to external codes or traditions but are instead those that spring from a sincere love for Christ. In Romans 14, Paul illustrates that whether you eat or observe a day, what truly counts is whether those actions are done to honor and thank the Lord. This understanding encourages believers to reflect on their motives, ensuring that their actions, regardless of the specific behaviors, reflect a desire to glorify God. Thus, it is the heart's intention that ultimately carries weight in God's eyes.
