What does the Bible say about what pleases God?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that what pleases God is rooted in His sovereign will and actions, for He does whatever pleases Him (Psalm 115:3).

According to Psalm 115:3, 'But our God is in the heavens; he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.' This foundational truth reveals God's absolute sovereignty over all creation. Everything God does is an expression of His nature and ultimately pleases Him. This includes His creation, His plan of salvation, and His choice of a people for Himself. The scriptures clarify that humans, being sinful and totally depraved, cannot please God in themselves. However, God's decisions and purposes, including His electing grace and the sacrificial work of Christ, please Him and reflect His glory.
