Hebrews 11:6 says it is impossible to please God without faith. But what exactly does it mean to have a faith that is pleasing to God?
Faith Defined
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1, NLT
Faith in Christ
Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. John 11:25, NLT
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12, NLT
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16, NLT
Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:29, NLT
And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:5, NLT
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9, NLT
For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love. Galatians 5:6, NLT
Praying in Faith
I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. Mark 11:24, NLT
But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6, NLT
You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it. Matthew 21:22, NLT
Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. James 5:14-15, NLT
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7, NLT
