Accepter ce qui est « à gré », agréable. Formule de déférence dans les relations humaines (Da 4:27), équivalente à celle d'un accueil favorable (Ge 33:10).

Cet « agrément » devient une « approbation » lorsqu'on doit se prononcer devant un problème moral ou religieux (2Ma 11:35). (Lu 11:48 Ac 8:1 22:20 Ro 1:32)

La Bible nous recommande surtout d'examiner ce qui est agréable au Seigneur : (Eph 5:10) offrandes et sacrifices, pourvu qu'il y ait don réel (Ex 29:18, Le 1:9,13,17 22:21, Ps 20:4, Mr 14:3-9, Php 4:18).

Encore n'est-ce pas Dieu qui les réclame (Jer 6:20, Ps 40:7-9, cité Heb 10:6-9) ; il répudie l'offrande des rebuts (Mal 1:6-14), l'avarice (Esa 58:3-5, Ac 5:3), l'hypocrisie (Ge 4:5, Am 5:21-25), l'infidélité (1Co 10:6, Heb 10:38).

Ce qui agrée à Dieu, ce sont les dispositions du coeur : repentance (Ps 51:18 et suivant), droiture (1Sa 15:22 Pr 11:20 21:3 Jean 4:23 Ac 10:35), humilité (Ps 149:4), sincérité (Ps 19:14 119:108), foi (Heb 11:4-6), consécration (Ro 12:1), respect filial (Col 3:20), intercession (1Ti 2:3).

Seul Jésus a été parfaitement agréable à Dieu (Jn 8:29) ; il a été son Bien-aimé (voir ce mot), celui en qui il prend plaisir (Esa 42:1, cité dans Mt 3:17 et parallèle ; Mt 12:18 17:5,2Pi 1:17). Aussi est-il agréé comme un ambassadeur et médiateur (Heb 8:6), dans le double dessein de nous faire agréer de Dieu (Heb 12:28) et de nous rendre agréable la volonté de Dieu (Ro 12:2).

La grâce du Seigneur a appris à saint Paul à trouver agréables les pires épreuves pour Christ, ce qu'il exprime en concluant qu'il « s'y complaît » (2Co 12:10). Mais ceux qui ont « pris plaisir » à l'injustice seront soumis au jugement de Dieu (2Th 2:12). Voir Bienveillance.
