“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. (Hebrews 11:6)
The Bible tells us that there are two primary truths involved in coming to God. This coming to God includes both coming to Him for salvation and coming to Him in prayer. First, one must believe that, “God is.” To deny His existence is to close the door of entrance into His presence. It is the fool who says in his heart, “There is no God.” (Psalm 14:1)
The second primary truth necessary for coming to God is that one must believe that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. To think that it is useless to believe that God will reward us with answered prayer is to close all communication between Him and us.
The absence of either or both of these two elements is a declaration of one’s unbelief and God will not honor any plea that such a person may make. Such a lack of faith makes it impossible to please Him. Strong faith acknowledges His person, His promises and His power to deliver. Believe that God is real and that He can and will reward you when you call on Him.
