Why Without Faith It’s Impossible To Please God? by esota4280(m): 6:37am On Oct 25, 2015 |
Well, to have faith in God is to trust
Him above all. The main point is that
trust itself has to do with the
integrity, reputation, character,
image, and ability of someone.
Based on that statement, it’s quite
easy for us to realize why God is not
pleased as a result of people’s
unbelief. When people cannot trust
God with their lives, it doesn’t honor
whom God is, it doesn’t honor His
Word, and it doesn’t honor His
integrity as well.
Unbelief itself is a form of idolatry
because something else is being
trusted more than God. Unbelief is
always associated and sustained by
something contrary to how God
Himself wants us to see Him in light
of a present troubling issue. So
unbelief is a major stumbling block
that will always keep us from
reaching our full potential into Him.
The question is that do we allow
doubt, worry, fear, erroneous beliefs,
and uncertainty about the future to
occupy the place that God Himself
should occupy in our lives? Whatever
we’ve allowed to hold us back from
trusting God is our god in some way;
in other words, whatever it may be is
being assigned more trust since it
gets to determine our belief toward
God.
God’s standard operating procedures
demand that anything that’s being
done for Him must be done in a way
that reflects His shining greatness.
Meaning that we have to give Him
our very best in everything we’re
doing for Him. With respect to
trusting God, it has to be done
without reservation. Additionally, it
has to be done by turning our
focus away from the obstacles that
may hinder us from trusting Him.
Trusting means rise above our
human weaknesses that are pulling
us down like a strong gravity force to
a position far below from where God
wants us to operate as His children.
In short, faith glorifies God in the
context of trusting Him on the
ground of who He is, and what He’s
able to do in relation to what He says
in His Word. On the other hand,
unbelief utterly brings dishonor to
God due to the fact that it doesn’t
acknowledge God’s trustworthiness,
greatness, and faithfulness.
E.G
Now faith is confidence in what we
hope for and assurance about what
we do not see ( Hebrews 11:1).
And without faith it is impossible
to please God, because anyone
who comes to Him must believe
that He exists and that He rewards
those who earnestly seek
Him ( Hebrews 11:6) |

Faith is d invisible string dat binds d believer to his religion n stops him from questioning d loopholes n incredible stories he is told. Faith is simply, beliving without proof. If a conman ask u 2 bring 100k n assures u of reaping a 100 fold in 24hrs if u belive, would u give him? Guess u wld say dats gullible/stupid of any1 to do rite? But dat scam happens in churches, all in d name of faith. I no of a nigerian pastor dat was based in d uk, with his church name starting wit k, dat specialises in dis kind of scam. Even islam teaches faith. D jihadist/suicide bomber is propelled by faith to kill himself along with innocent bystanders, wit d belief he will b welcome into paradise by 72 sexy virgins! Crazy? No, dats real Faith 4 u! D originators of xtianity & Islam knows dat without faith, religion is dead on arrival. Even today, remove faith from xtianity & Islam n watch dem die sudden death! 1 Like 1 Share |
