Pleasing God

A few weeks ago I decided to look in the Bible for what pleases God. That is which actions were specifically said to please God. I thought this would be useful for teaching others, and I've had times myself when I've thought or prayed "All I want to do is please God". Sometimes with a sense of frustration of not knowing how, or if, I could please him with my life.
But my Bible study gave me an almost immediate result. I spent less than 15 minutes searching for the words "Please" & "God". It was very clear Old & New Testament one of the primary things which pleases God is:
SACRIFICE

Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
