How does God work in us to please Him?

God's work within us is fundamentally to align our will with His. As stated in Hebrews 13:21, He works in us that which is well-pleasing in His sight. This includes instilling in us a desire for righteousness and empowering us to act according to His good purposes. Philippians 2:13 reinforces that it is both God’s will and good pleasure that drives believers to good works, indicating that any effort to please God originates from His work in our hearts and leads us to glorify Him in our actions.
