Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Application:

Enoch is one of only two people who did not experience death; Elijah is the other (see 2 Kgs 2:1-12). Why? Hebrews says it’s because he pleased God (11:5). That doesn’t mean, of course, that if you’re pleasing God, you won’t die! But it does mean that his departure from the world was a direct result of how he lived.*

He lived a virtuous life within the context of a wicked and corrupt society. What he did mattered.*

Do you want to live in a way that pleases God? Then you must know that without faith, it is impossible to please God. You must believe that he exists and rewards those who seek him (11:6). You must act with faith, even if you have to do so alone and go against the accepted norms of the day. You must maintain an expectation that God responds regarding his will for your life when you seek to please him.*

The best way to please God is to make Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and obey His Word, pray, read the Word of God daily, and do what it says. Jesus was our example here on earth, as everything He did was to please the Father (Your “will” be done, Luke 22:42, John 14:31, John 12:48-50).

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
