“Now that we have given a few basic examples of how this mysterious faith works, let’s really tune in to apply it to our eternal lives. The Bible says, “…without faith it is impossible to please him [God]…” (Hebrews 11:6). In the preceding verse, the Bible says that Enoch pleased God. The reason I even wrote this book was to target this very principle. So many, for many reasons, do not believe we can actually please God. And yet, the Bible says otherwise. Enoch, Abel, Abigail, Hannah, Esther, Mary, Job, Paul, and countless, unnamed people pleased God! How in the world did they do that? I must admit that I misled you with that question. The way they did that, that is, pleased God, was not of this world. They simply exercised the tiny little measure of faith that God gives to all people, to the point that they surrendered their will to Him, thereby growing their faith, and that faith took firm hold of the power of God unto salvation! Oh, my! Do you remember that we said that valid faith is well placed? Those who have saving faith that pleases a holy God, press through doubts, fears, anxiety, pain, trials, etc., to simply embrace God for dear life. When this kind of faith is active, it defies logic and facilitates miraculous changes in our lives.”
