You are correct, faith does please God. But unrepentant man does not possess such faith.
Those who are in the flesh cant please God, meaning the unregenerate Rom 8:8

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

So man by nature cannot have Faith in the True God nor Repent, a man must be born again first by the Spirit.

This is really rich, coming from one who is steeped in a FALSE GOSPEL. Brightfame52, you need to repent of your FALSE GOSPEL totally.
If you believe I witness a false Gospel, then you reject the True Gospel I witness of, may God be pleased to grant you repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth.

Gods word says it Rom 9:13

13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

And I dont believe Esau or others God hates will He have Mercy upon, because they, His Love and Mercy go hand in hand in His Salvation Eph 2:4-5

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)

If you had paid attention to the context in Romans 9 you would see that Rom 9:13-16

13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Found out why I never fitted in, no matter how hard I tried. It is because am one of God's elect.

John 15:19
New King James Version


19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Found out, am the only one in my natural family that is elect. After the true gospel is told to people. Nonelects go back to sinning after they try not to sin after 1 day or a few days. God's elects receive the Holy Spirit, sinful nature gets removed, changes from sinner to saint, not understanding the bible to understanding it and more.

Pre-salvation for God's elect is like bottom verse. Wanting to be free from sin and seeking God's love. Family love is not enough.
While nonelects try not to sin because they are afraid of the lake of fire.

Romans 7:15-24
New King James Version


15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Matthew 10:34-38
New King James Version


Christ Brings Division
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[a] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
New King James Version


14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what [a]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [b]communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you[c] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”
