Faith Earnestly Seeks God

Heb 11:6 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.

A person who does not believe in God cannot please God. For to please God a person must first come to him. And to come to him one must first seek him.

"Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." Is 55:6,7

"Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger." Zep 2:3

Such seeking must be in earnest.

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jer 29:13

There are those who seek him falsely, those who pray to get whatever they want, not intending to do what he commands. Indeed may claim to believe in Jesus without actually intending to do what he said.

When you seek God earnest, what you may find is different than what you expected. To enter into a relationship with God one must first deal with sin. For "those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God." Rom 8:8 "Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." Is 59:1,2

A lifestyle built upon application oriented faith pleases God. "Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more."
