Hebrews 11:6


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. (KJV)

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. (BSB)

Faith begins where reason ends.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help


It’s been well said, “Nothing is easier than to doubt. A person with moderate ability or knowledge can doubt more than the wisest people believe.” Faith requires knowledge because it’s an intelligent grace that justifies itself, but doubt doesn’t need to explain itself; a bold attitude and a loud voice

 

are enough. The height of unbelief is to know nothing. What is that but making ignorance into a god?

A person may drift into agnosticism without even realizing it, but to believe is to be fully alive. Those who think faith is for the childish need to grow up a lot before they can even test their own theory.

If I find myself growing in God’s garden, even if I’m the smallest plant there, it’s such a blessing just to be in the garden at all—I, who was once a wild, unruly weed in the wilderness—that I have no doubt God will water me when I need it, and He will

 

care for me until I’m fully grown. Didn’t He say of every plant in His garden, “I will water it every moment”?
