How do we know our good works please God?

Scripture indicates that it is through Christ that God is well pleased. As stated in Hebrews 13:16, with such sacrifices—our good deeds—done through Him, God is pleased. Our good works, though imperfect, are accepted because they are offered through the righteousness of Christ. When we engage in acts of kindness and service inspired by our salvation, it is Christ’s work in us that pleases God. Recognizing that our salvation is not based on our actions but on His grace enables us to perform good works sincerely and joyfully.
