A woman shared the one and only way humans can please God. Her powerful words and message show how fallen humans are and God’s immense and unending love for us. Watch the short but moving clip to hear the only thing people can do to make God happy and please him.

The world is a fallen and broken place, full of hurting and struggling people. No one would have a chance without Christ’s love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. We would all be destined for an eternity, lost and separated from Him, where there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman beautifully and powerfully explains the one thing we can do to please God. And because of our fallen nature, it’s not what we do but what Jesus Christ can and does for us.

“Like, I’ve met people who feel like, ‘Oh, my past is too crazy. I’m not good enough. I don’t know how Jesus can use me; how Jesus can love me,’” she said. “And the reality is none of us are, you know, in our own strength, in our own ability – none of us are good enough.”

Later in the clip, she mentions the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus, what God said about His Son and how that relates to us today.

“And the Father said, ‘This is my Son in whom I am well pleased,’” she said. “Now, that moment was not just a random thing. It was that God the Father was revealing to humanity: the only way you can please me is in Him. This is the One who pleases me, and you cannot please me outside of Him.”

God sent His only Son and completely changed everything. Christ willingly went to the cross, suffered and died on our behalf. In doing so, He completely and forever won victory over sin, shame and death. We can be forgiven and experience eternal life because He was forsaken and broken for you and me.

Matthew 17:5 “While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.”
