What are the absolutes in Hebrews 11 you cannot compromise?

Hebrews 11:6 gives one absolute that cannot be compromised or skirted: without faith it is impossible to please God. Whoever comes to God must believe that He is, that He is real, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.

Les teaches that Hebrews chapter 11 contains one of the two absolutes that must be confronted, cannot be detoured around, and cannot be compromised. The absolute he points to is Hebrews 11:6: without faith it is impossible to please Him. He stresses that this means exactly what it says, and that he who comes to God must believe that He is, that He is for real, and that He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. He contrasts this with other areas of Scripture where there is room for disagreement, noting that here there is no room for disagreement.

Hebrews 11:6

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.
