what pleases God
Text: Romans 12:2
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
A discreet slave knows what his master likes and dislikes and acts sensibly. A servant must never do anything that pleases his master and never angers or hates his master. Also, filial children know what their parents like and don't like and obey them.

How do carnal people make money? How do I become slim and beautiful? How do I get a job? Although we only think about these things, those of the spirit think about how to please God.
If you say you love God and don't know or care about God's good, pleasing, and perfect will, it is false love. We are God's creatures who control life and death, and as children, we must know what God is pleased with and hates. We should be interested in spiritual things, but if we only think about the things of the flesh, we cannot please God, we become enemies with God, and in the end it is death. Let's look at Romans 8:5-8 of the Bible together. “Those who are after the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, and those who follow the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. Not only does it not work, it cannot be done, for those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:5-8).
First, let's find out what God hates and hates.
Let's read the Bible from Proverbs 6:16-19.
“There are six things the LORD hates, even in his heart, that there are six things that are detestable to the LORD: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises evil schemes, feet that run swiftly into evil, and a demon that speaks lies. one who separates witnesses and between brothers."
This chapter of Proverbs 6 speaks by connecting the eyes, tongue, hands, and feet, which are each part of the body. These bodies are precious parts, but when used as a sinful tool, they can become terrifying weapons, so Jesus even said to the extreme to cut off the members that do evil.
Matthew 18:8 says, "If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; for it is better for you to enter eternal life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire."
of what the LORD hates
The first is the proud eyes. Among the seven sins, pride is the first to appear, because pride is the root of all sins. It is said that Satan was also an angel in the past, but he was cast out because of his proud thought of becoming like God. The Palace of Versailles, France, has a glass hall of 1,000 mirrors. When you go in and wave or reach out, a thousand people seem to welcome you, and when you smile softly, a thousand people look at you and smile. But the hand and the smile are all his own. A proud person is like this. You are preoccupied with yourself, surrounded by yourself, and trapped by yourself. The proud man's eyes are only on himself, and his neck thirsts for words of flattery and praise that will satisfy him.
Pride is the vanguard of destruction. In Psalm 101:5 it says:
"I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor, and I will not tolerate him with high eyes and a proud heart." And Proverbs 21:4, "The high-minded and the proud in heart, and the prosperity of the wicked, are all sin." don't hit When the serpent seduced Eve, it was said that if you eat of the forbidden fruit, your eyes will be opened and you will become like God (Genesis 3:5).
Second, it is a false tongue. A person's life or death depends on how they use their words. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."
Words have penetrative power, so that they inflict pain like the stabs of a sword or benefit like a medicine.
Look at Proverbs 12:18. “Or speaks rashly like the stabs of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is like medicine.”
About 10 years ago, Mass was being held in a church in Venezuela. Suddenly, a shout of "Fire" rang out, and about 6,000 believers gathered in the church got up in fear, pushing and pushing and making a commotion. It is said that several people died and dozens were injured. However, it was later revealed that the "fire" was a lie. According to police investigations, it was a ploy by the pickpockets to create favorable conditions for their work. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
The Bible says in Proverbs 12:22, "False lips are an abomination to the LORD, but he who walks in truth is pleased with him."
<Question> Who said the person who died while lying in the Bible? Ananias and Sapphira. And there is Achan.
The third is hands that shed innocent blood.
In 1 Kings 21:19, when King Ahab's wife Jezebel killed Naboth and took the vineyard, she herself became food for dogs with blood.
Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, repented and brought the thirty pieces of silver back to the chief priests, confessing that I had sinned by selling innocent blood. The one who shed innocent blood is hated by the Lord, and he must pay the price for it.
Deuteronomy 19:10 says, "Do not shed innocent blood in the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, for in this way the blood will not return to you." Verse, 1 Samuel 25:31, etc. tells us not to shed innocent blood.
As President Park Chung-hee created the Yushin Constitution and created the Central Intelligence Agency to shed the blood of innocent people, he himself died miserably, his wife was also shot to death, and his children were not married and his descendants were completely cut off.
The fourth is the heart that devises evil schemes. God breaks down the schemes of the deceivers, so that the work of their hands cannot be accomplished (Job 5:12).
Let's read Proverbs 4:23-24. “More than anything else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put deceit out of your mouth, and keep evil from your lips.”
Let's continue reading Proverbs 4:26.
“Make the path of your feet straight, and make all your paths secure; do not turn to the right or to the left, but turn your feet from evil.”
<Question> What is the dirtiest thing in this world? Not excrement, but an evil heart. It is a heart that plots evil schemes.
Fifth, feet that quickly run to evil. The feet of the wicked run to evil and are quick to bleed.
Let's read Proverbs 1:16 again. “For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.” It refers to a fallen man who is slow to do good but quick to do evil. It is because they have feet that they can run to the place of crime.
Sixth, they are false witnesses who tell lies. How many people give false testimony in court? How many more do Korean politicians lie? Especially in Korea, how many lies are being told by the cult leaders and their followers!
