Reward From God

What does it take to please God?

I know that there will be as many answers as there are opinions. But let me share with you from the Bible what it takes to please God.

FAITH!    I would say most of you already knew that.

Hebrews 11:6 says "Without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is......"

So, in order to please God we must first believe that He is! That almost seems so common sense.

But...... there is second part to this verse that we so often overlook. Hebrews 11:6 goes on to say.....

 "And that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

So, in order to please God we not only need to believe that He is there.... we also need to believe that He rewards us for diligently seeking Him. We have to be actively involved in both parts of this verse in order please the Father.


Father, I choose to believe that You are,  and I choose to believe that You are actively rewarding me for seeking after You!

No I.D. required..... Just faith!

A paradigm. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Therefore.... we will always have situations that come into our life that require us to utilize faith. Looks like we will never come to a place where there is smooth sailing because .... we want to please God and He..... wants to reward us...... and that my friend, is a good thing!

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

Of all people... I would think I would have it smooth sailing. Why not? I have a good job, a good wife, great kids... I'm good looking (no comments). I live in America. I have good health... ya da, ya da, ya da! But still.. most days are a struggle to not get down and discouraged. I think it is related to my post above. Strange huh? Any thoughts?

• To help us.... God even gives us the faith that we need to please Him... and to get through any situation.
• Ephesians 2:8 Says For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

  So..... if someone doesn't believe does that mean that God did not give them that gift of faith? No... Romans 12:3 says For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
• Everyone!!!!!!!! has been given that measure of faith. As we apply, use, rely on, exercise, this faith... it grows!
