What can one do to impress God?

Answer 1

Sorry, but nothing. Giving your life to Him is the closest you can get, but even that doesn't do much. He is perfect. People are only impressed by those who do greater deeds than they themselves can do and no one can do better than God. All you can do is please Him. I've already told you how to do that.

Answer 2

I think a humble heart and spirit pleases God. The things that are pleasing to God are not the things that humans value. It is true that faith pleases God. Also, a willingness to give up ones own will for God's will. I don't think God is impressed with ones position in life or what family a person comes from. I think He uses people from all walks of life to accomplish His work. Sometimes God's greatest work is accomplished by a person whom the world casts away as a reject.

Answer 3

"EDIT: This question should have been posted in Religion & Spirituality. It has virtually NOTHING to do with PHILOSOPHY." I agree with the above, and find it interesting that some of us reply to questions about God in this category, including myself! The premise isn't philosophical at all, so it is absurd to speculate on "what kind of job would be honored" by God. EDIT: "You won't get a proper answer for this because there is none, no one knows if there is a god, though a lot of people hope there is. If there is a god, i wouldnt think that any mere human would have the right to judge what is honorable or not to an almighty being." Another excellent answer. This is NOT a PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION AND CANNOT BE ANSWERED AS SUCH.

Answer 4

How about this: Lay down your own life for someone you can't stand. Forgive people who have horribly violated you. Pray for all the 'evil' people in this world. Pray for rich people. Pray for graces and forgiveness for the next-door-neighbor you're feuding with. Pray for your 'a**hole' boss. Instead of staring at someone who is choking to death in a restaurant, get up and try to help or call 911.
In other words, stop thinking about yourself 24/7 and think about
giving yourself to and for others. And most importantly of all, BELIEVE IN GOD-THE FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST. To comprehend this, try reading the 10 Commandments, especially number #1 and #2.

Answer 5

a greek jew named cornelius tried to impress God, but God was not impressed, and out of his love to cornelius he sent peter to him, and peter told him
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
