"And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."—I John 3:22
It is possible for one to keep His commandments, but what if there is no clear commandment regarding the matter in question? Some things are clearly commanded while others are not.
When there is no commandment to obey, then the question is, "Does it please God?" Can you honestly and sincerely say, "This thing I want to do pleases God?" If the Christian cannot honestly say yes, then he shouldn't do it.
The Christian should never do anything unless he is thoroughly convinced that it will please the Lord.
