"Seek Him!"

“Seek Him!”

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.     Hebrews 11:6



A person CANNOT PLEASE GOD, apart from FAITH.  One MUST BELIEVE that God EXISTS.  I think the interesting part of this Scripture is the fact that Paul uses the word IMPOSSIBLE, and not the word DIFFICULT. He is implying that FAITH is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY in order to PLEASE GOD. There is NO OTHER WAY, NO OTHER MEANS you can use to PLEASE GOD, it is IMPOSSIBLE without FAITH. 



The FIRST part of that FAITH is to BELIEVE that GOD does EXISTS.  Some may want to BELIEVE that a person who is “GOOD” will surely make it into Heaven, because of ALL the “good” works they have done. But the Apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:8 that, it is by GRACE we are SAVED, through FAITH, and this is NOT from ourselves; it is the GIFT of GOD, lest anyone should boast.  We are NOT justified by our works but by our FAITH in God and His Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  And without this FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to be PLEASING to GOD.



The SECOND part of PLEASING GOD, is to SEEK HIM, with ALL your HEART.  Because when you do that you will receive REWARDS and Paul tells us to: Not throw away our confidence (FAITH), which has a great reward.  For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may RECEIVE what was PROMISED.  (Heb. 10:35-36)



However, for the UNBELIEVER, they will NOT be receiving REWARDS, but they will receive WRATH, INDIGNATION, AFFLLICTION and DISTRESS, because of their SELF-SEEKING nature, and their DISOBEDIENCE of the TRUTH, and their UNRIGHTEOUS souls. (Rom. 2:8)  And their DESTINY is an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after they are there.  They do NOT SEEK GOD, nor do they possess the FAITH that it takes to PLEASE HIM.



Is this your situation?  Are you facing the JUDGMENT SEAT of GOD, and His WRATH and COMDEMNATION? And is your DESTINY an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS?  This does NOT have to be your DESTINY.  If you will SEEK God, with ALL your HEART, and call out to Him for the SALVATION of your soul, He is FAITHFUL and will RESCUE you from your plight.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and with FAITH, be PLEASING to God, SEEK the LORD while He may be found; CALL to Him while He is NEAR.  (Isa. 55:6) Do this NOW while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
