God rewards those who come to Him with faith
“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.” (Heb. 11:6 NIV)
We learn four important things from the above passage
1. FAITH: It’s impossible to please God without faith – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Heb. 11:1 ESV)
2. BELIEVE: Those coming to Him must believe that he exists – “And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.” (Gen. 15:6 ESV)
3. REWARDS: Those coming to Him must believe that he rewards them – “Because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.” (Eph. 6:8 ESV).
4. EARNESTLY: Those coming to Him must do so earnestly – “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” (James 15:16b NLT)
