The bible gives a number of ways to please God, apart from the typical "believe in Jesus Christ" things, here's a couple I'm sure there's many more:
praying for those in authority (1 Ti 2)
presenting our bodies as living sacrifices (Rom 12)
Sending support to those in the ministry Php (4:18)
Honoring and serving family (1 Ti 5:4)
Obeying parents (col 3:2)
Living an upright life worthy of Christ (Col 1:10).
Don't buy the lie that there is nothing you can do to please God, and that Jesus Christ is the only sacrifice acceptable to Him. IMO this is nothing more than vain humility and the "saved by grace and faith in Christ alone" thing taken too far, to the extent that our actions and what we do are seen as trivial and irrelevant. That's not true because you are saved, you are "in Christ", and whatever you do should be done in the name of Jesus (Col 3:17). Some take the "saved by faith alone" thing too far.
