Hebrews 11:6

"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."

What is faith?

Why would someone wish to please God?

One cannot approach that which they do not believe exists.

Why would someone seek something if they did not believe there to be some form of reward for their effort?

Where does faith come from?

Concluding thought:

You cannot give a present to a king who you do not believe exists, nor would you put forth the effort unless you expected there to be some reward.
