Faith and The Secret of Pleasing God.
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.

Here we see The Absolute Necessity Of
Faith and The Secret of Pleasing God.

[Must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him] Four Secrets of Answered Prayer
1.To please God (1 John 3:21-22; 1 John 5:14-15).
2.To come to God in the right attitude and with the right motives (Matthew 6:5-15; Matthew 7:7-11; Phil. 4:5-6).
3.To believe that He is (John 16:23).
4.To believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
If one can believe
this as much as he believes in the existence of God, prayer will be granted.
If one
believes firmly in His existence and doubts His word, he makes Him a liar and God
is under no obligation to answer prayer
(James 1:4-8). The Greek for diligently is
ekzeteo (GSN-1567), translated diligently seek (Hebrews 11:6); seek after (Acts
15:17; Romans 3:11); seek carefully (Hebrews 12:17); require (Luke 11:50-51); and enquire (1 Peter 1:10).
