Some Bible verses are so clear that their simple truth is undeniable, such as Hebrews 11:6 which says, "And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him." (NLT)
In case you missed the deep, hidden meaning of the phrase "it is impossible to please God without faith," let me state it clearly: It is impossible to please God without faith. In other words, God has spelled out for us the kind of life that He finds pleasing. It's not a life of achievement or good works or religiosity. It's a life of faith. And if our primary motivation for ministry is pleasing God, then we need a ministry of faith.
