Walk in Faith

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 

Hebrews 11:6, ESV

“Without faith it is impossible to please him.” There is a phrase that ought to get the attention of every believer. If I lack faith it will be impossible to please God. This verse calls to mind other passages related to faith as well:

“And he said to them, “’Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?’ Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm” (Matthew 8:26, ESV).

“If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you” (Matthew 17:20, ESV).

Clearly, faith is an essential part of the Christian journey. It takes faith to initially trust Christ for our salvation. It takes faith to walk with Him on a daily basis. It takes faith to accomplish the task for which He has called us. And, it takes faith to do anything of significance. When we read the Bible, we see that God has called us to a storm calming, mountain moving faith. Without faith, we can do nothing – worst of all, we cannot please Him.
