Impossible to please God (Scriptures)

M

MatthewG

Hello you and welcome, teaching to the choir yes haha? God bless and you have a great day.


Hebrews 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

Faith is a persuasion that comes spiritually - reborn again spiritually (John 3)



There may be people out there who come to the conculsion that God truly does exist, that created this world. (Romans 1:20)



God showed his great love towards us by sending Christ while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8)



The promises of God are the ability to freely ask wisdom from him (James 1:2-8)



It also means we go through trails, and storms in this life that are going to toss us around, youll see that in James, and considering that cost following Christ can seem scary, and overbearing!



The real battle is not with the world as much as it is with-in ourself. Fighting between desiring to live by the flesh, or desiring to live by the spirit.



They both fight each other and it is a deep inner warfare between desiring to do what God wants from us, rather than what we want to do for ourselves, please read Galatians 5 for more information on this and Mark 7:19-23



God hears our prayers.

Psalm 18:6

Psalm 5:3

Matthew 26:21

Colossians 4:2



What you decide to do with your faith is up to you!



God loves you, and the Lord Jesus Christ does to.



When we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ we become children of God and if we walk by the spirit we continue to build our faith through our trust in God and Jesus who brings so much peace and rest for our souls.

Whenever I read this, I'm reminded that it is necessary to understand what it really means to have faith. Many scriptures including this one tell us that it is much more than simply believing that God exists. Here we are told that faith also means that we "believe that God rewards those that earnestly seek him"

Heb 11:1 gives us a definition of faith that while simply stated is full of details that I believe many miss. I learned a lot about faith when I dug deeply into this verse and studied all the various passages that spoke of faith and the other elements given in Heb 11:1.

Understanding what faith means is essential to pleasing God or in other words in doing the will of God.

Amen without the faith of Christ working in born again mankind no man could please . Christ is the one source of Christian faith as it is writem .

We have the power of His faith working in us just as did the Son of man Jesus to both to will and again empower us to do it. But would never asume it is of us in respect to these earthen bodies seen . We walk by the unseen eternal. . . then we can please Him seeing he has given us his reward (grace)

What he does with His faith is up to Him . He is of one mind and always does what soever his soul pleases .It is God who does make our new hearts soft Emanuel performs that which is appointed to us. He as the better things that acomapany salvation propmises he will not forget the good works we offer towards his name (power)
 
How about....
We know that real faith is a revelation from God.
If we receive from God it is a part of him.
Therefore, if he dwells within us - he is pleased with what he sees.

Matthew.....I am a very detailed person.

Having said that I noticed that in your video you said...."It is my hope to meet and pray to and understand the creator and maybe along the way meet Jesus Christ". (That may not be the exact words you used).

I just wanted you to realize that Jesus Christ is the Creator. There is NO Christianity and no salvation with out meeting Jesus Christ in FAITH.

Colossians 1:16............
"For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist."
