how is god impressed?

The writer of Hebrews informs us that if we are to please God one must have "faith".

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

"By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible"  (Hebrews 11:3).

The writer of Hebrews states … “by faith we understand” that God spoke His word and the universe was created from the invisible to the visible.

God is impressed by the man or woman who wholeheartedly embraces the word of God, even when the circumstances seem to contradict God’s word.

• When the bleeding woman touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, he said to her, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well” (Matthew 9:22).

• When the centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant from afar, Jesus responded by saying, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith” (Luke 7:9)

• When Abraham saw Sarah getting older and older, he didn’t waver in his faith in God’s promise of a son: “No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised” (Romans 4:20).

           “But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and     
            preserve their souls” (Hebrews 10:39).

We are encouraged in these last days to possess and to express a kind of faith that pleases and impresses our Father by confidently trusting in His promises and power .... Today!
