Faith, The Tool That Pleases God
**Introduction:**
Faith is the foundation of our relationship with God. It is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is not just a belief in God’s existence; it is trusting Him, even when we can’t see the outcome. According to Hebrews 11:6, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” This powerful statement emphasizes the importance of faith in our walk with the Lord.
**Scriptural Insight:**
Hebrews 11:1-6 gives us a profound understanding of what faith is and why it is essential. The chapter begins by defining faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. It then goes on to list the heroes of faith—Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, and others—who pleased God because they trusted Him completely.
In verse 6, we see that faith is not optional for a believer; it is a necessity. “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.” This verse reveals that faith is the tool that connects us to God’s promises and opens the door for His blessings in our lives.
**Biblical References:**
– **James 2:17** – “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
– **Romans 10:17** – “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
**Call to Action:**
Are you living a life of faith? It’s not enough to just believe in God; you must actively trust Him in every situation. Faith requires action. Whether it’s stepping out in obedience, praying for a miracle, or standing firm in God’s promises, let your faith be evident in your actions. Remember, it is through faith that you please God and receive His rewards.
**Prayer Point:**
Father, we thank You for the gift of faith. Help us to trust You completely, even when we can’t see the way forward. Strengthen our faith so that we may live lives that are pleasing to You. May our faith grow daily as we seek You and stand on Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
