Hebrews 11:6
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
You can only please God if you are a true believer. It is unfortunate that far too often, those who began their Christian lives by faith are no longer able to rely on the truth of Scripture. Many of them have become careless in seeking the Lord, and some have even abandoned their first love. When they take their eyes off Jesus, they begin to doubt the truth which God has given them. Christians who live in their own strength or rely on their own righteousness are not pleasing to the Lord. Since they are not trusting the Word of God, faith, as the Bible says, is the evidence of things not seen. Our faith in God's Word pleases Him. In our salvation, we please God, but we will also please Him throughout our Christian lives by believing that He keeps His promises and by believing that He rewards those who seek Him - by faith. Let us trust in the Lord with all of our hearts and not rely on our own righteousness. Let us never forget what God promised: that He is a reward for those who diligently seek him.
James 2:1
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Titus 2:5
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Psalms 40:1
I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
