Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 NIV

Here’s the answer to the big question – How do we please God? What is it that God really wants from us? And this is the thing that all the great men and women in the Bible were commended for – their faith. Applying God’s word in a practical way in our lives, even when the world says that’s foolish.


And then there are two parts that follow, firstly believing He exists I think is a very easy thing, but then comes the harder part – earnestly seeking Him. Notice the word earnestly. It’s not a casual thing but there is a seriousness and a deliberation with which we need to pursue God. Notice in the gospels that the people who got something from Jesus, i.e. a healing, had to overcome obstacles and push through crowds or social barriers to get their answer. The Bible says the one who trusts in Him will never be put to shame. 1 Peter 2:6
