How are you able to please God?  It’s not on your own.  It’s all of God and all of grace, all the time.  Salvation is not about making a decision for Christ or somehow being convinced.  You can’t be saved by doing your best or trying harder because you will always fall short of the standard and may not be saved if you merely profess to believe in Christ.  Salvation results from the change the Lord makes in our hearts.  Because of this, when we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we give all of ourselves and our lives to him to be used for the building up of his kingdom and his glory.
