How To Please God!
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek
Him."
Hebrews 11: 6
Jesus “marveled” twice when it came to faith.
The first was when a Roman soldier said
that
a simple word from Jesus could heal the
soldier’s servant in Luke 7:9.
Jesus “marveled” at this, saying, “I have not
found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
The second was when Jesus found little faith
in Nazareth: “And He marveled because of
their unbelief” (Mark 6:6).
Hebrews 11:6 says that faith is required to
please God—faith in His existence and His
rewarding of faith. Seeking God diligently is
not easy—Solomon compared it to digging
for hidden treasure inProverbs 2:1-5.
Building faith begins with our desire to
know God, which leads to seeking Him
and results in trusting Him.
God rewards the faith of those who seek Him;
Jesus’ ministry of healing and compassion is
evidence of that. Seek Him today, knowing
your faith pleases Him.
"Nothing but
faith can
comprehend the truth."
Martin Luther
