What are the absolutes in Scripture that leave no room for disagreement?
Hebrews 11:6 presents faith as one of the two absolutes: without faith it is impossible to please God. It cannot be compromised or skirted around; anyone coming to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
Les teaches that Hebrews 11:6 is one of the two absolutes that must be confronted and cannot be detoured around or compromised. While many areas of Scripture allow room for disagreement, this area has no room for disagreement. The absolute is faith: without faith it is impossible to please Him, and the one who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. In the surrounding context, the opposite danger is an evil heart of unbelief, which keeps people from entering God’s rest. The supplied context refers to “one of the two absolutes” but names only this one explicitly.
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.
