Shalom! One can spend a whole lifetime studying the subject of faith and one will continue to learn so many sides that are involved therein. Let's look at our main text again:
Hebrews 11: 6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Diligence is an attribute and attitude of faith. There is a kind of seriousness that is attached to the Bible kind of faith which is why God demands diligence in the seeker.
The dictionary defines the word "diligence" as "careful and conscientious" and the word "careful" as "paying close attention". The word "conscientious" is defined "been diligent with one's work". I don't think this can be overly emphasised since it is the very basis and fabric of our relationship with the Most High God. You can just imagine why this faith business hasn't been working for so many people. They have taken it too lightly and without diligence.
Why would God demand that the one who will come to Him must believe that He is? The reason is that you must reverence Him and must know that He is faithful to His promises.
Faith connects you to God, and it's never for nothing. Something will always come out of your faith walk with God.
You need to do all you can to learn this faith walk. Your life depends on it. Really, our lives depends on it.
For your information, the faith walk is the most exciting walk there is in this life - heaven and earth.
See you later at next posting. God bless.
