Please, pleased or pleasing


Ga 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Let’s look at part of this verse and simplify it a little.                                               
Justified= made innocent
So,  Gal 2:16 “fact: no one is made innocent by doing things (preordained or made up by the individual) to try to get in God’s graces,”
It is not a situation of doing things to make you more acceptable for God.  If you are trying to do things, it needs to be because you are in a relationship with Him cause you’re one of His kids.  It is a fine line between trying to please and being pleasing.
Before we go on… does anyone have a problem with this?
