"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)
Under the divine influence of The Holy Spirit of God, the unknown human author of The Bible Book of Hebrews wrote words of encouragement to the scattered believers, after the crucifixion of Christ. He told them to keep the faith, because without faith it is not possible to please God. He also told them that they must believe that The Lord God exists, and that He will reward all those who diligently and sincerely seek to follow Him.
Those of us who believe and have faith in Jesus, The Christ, without having had the pleasure of seeing Him, will be blessed. (John 20:29) Jesus said that we should "Have faith in God." (Mark 11:22) We must have faith in that which we cannot see, but believe that it will be. (Hebrews 11:1) We also must believe that we will be rewarded for following The Lord and doing that which pleases Him. (2 Chronicles 15:7)
