"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." Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
The unknown author of the Book of Hebrews stated that it is not possible to please God without believing that He exists, without having faith in Him, without actively seeking Him, and without believing that those who honestly seek Him will find Him and will be rewarded.
We cannot walk with God without wholeheartedly believing in Him. Having faith in God and believing in Him, is more than intellectually knowing that there is a God. The devil and his demons know that He is God, they just choose not to follow Him and His ways. (James 2:19) We demonstrate our faith in Him by following His way, by being obedient to The Word of God. (John 14:15 and 14:23) We cannot have faith in God without also having our actions demonstrate that faith. (James 20:26) If we sincerely seek Him, we will find Him. (Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 7:7, and Luke 11:9) Those who truly have faith are blessed. (Galatians 3:9, Hebrews 11:20-21)
