Finding God

“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.” Hebrews 11:6

How does one determinedly search for and approach God unless they first believe He exists? But be careful! Even the demons believe in God (James 2:19, 20). We cannot please God without confidence in His promises, wisdom, and faithfulness. Only by faith can we believe He exists and trust the testimony of the invisible God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who says He is, I AM.

Where do we look for God? We see evidence of God in His handiwork in nature. We discover Him in the pages of His sacred Word when we earnestly look for Him; others proclaim The Word, introducing seekers to the One who was and is and is to come. How do we know we’ve found Him, and what does the Rewarder give those who earnestly pursue Him? By His grace and our surrender to Jesus, who set us free from sin’s bondage, He changes our lives and fills us with peace that only God can give. He invites us to boldly approach His throne of grace (4:16), knowing He hears and answers prayers. God makes His presence known through the indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit as He guides us, working in, through, and around us.

If people sincerely want to find God, they can: “And ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
