God rewards those who seek him
Samuel Acevedo
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The message discusses Hebrews 11:6, which states that it is impossible to please God without faith and that those who seek God will be rewarded. The message does not try to prove the existence of God but instead explores why it matters to believe in God and seek Him. The author emphasizes that God is a person, not just an idea, and that to know Him, we must study His Word and surround ourselves with others who are seeking Him. The message encourages readers to invest their time and energy in seeking God, believing that their lives will be blessed by doing so.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of seeking God with a diligent and whole-hearted search, as demonstrated by Biblical figures such as the woman at Simon's party, the woman with the issue of blood, and Bartimaeus. He shares his own personal testimony of seeking God in a moment of despair and how it transformed his life. The message is a call to live a life knowing God and experiencing His rewards for those who seek Him.

The Letter to the Hebrews chapter 11 verse 6. If there is a theme, an "anchor" statement in this Congregation and perhaps a common motivation that perhaps inspired us to get here, something that we all perhaps have in common on one level or another and this is what we are going to explore is that here we believe that God above all exists, He is, and that He is a rewarder, He rewards those who seek Him.
It is a text that many of us know from memory of the Reina Valera "But without faith it is impossible to please God, because it is necessary for those who approach God to believe that he exists, and he is a rewarder of those who seek him." In another version, the new international version reads like this, I use it for grammar and perhaps it will clarify certain issues in that verse: "Actually" says the international version, "without faith it is impossible to please God, since anyone who approaches to God” anyone, anyone without exception, “he who approaches God has to believe that He exists, and that He rewards those who seek Him.”
