It is impossible to please God... without faith.

This faith He's looking for is two-fold.

First, you must believe that He has existed since the beginning.

That one is pretty easy to figure out. All we have to do is look around. But this second one is tough.

We must believe that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.

Strangely, most Christians have a problem with this. It's much more common to hear how we shouldn't expect God to reward us.

Those who preach this opposite message gloat in their humility. But the gloating gives it away. It's not humility at all.

We cannot please God without believing in His rewards. It is not pleasing to Him for us not to expect His goodness.

Faith in the goodness of God is what He's looking for. His desire is for us to be absolutely sure that He gives good gifts to His children.

Don't let any of the gripey people talk you out of expecting to receive His rewards. Step into the goodness of God and never look back.
