"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)

It is what is says, that first you have faith in God, you seek His will, and He rewards your faith. The reward is the manifestation of His Spirit, and if you have experienced this then you know there is nothing more valuable

It has been a long time since Jesus ascended to heaven. It has been quite for a long time. Meanwhile the idiots that claim to represent him have been proved to be some of the most vile creatures/predators this earth has ever seen. On top of that the secular idiots have had their way with this earth and all of the people on it.
I do not doubt the veracity of this scripture however, I sure would like to see him put some of these people into a significant time out, so to speak. Even if I were to be counted among those needing a time out at least I would know for sure that it is not just my mental delusion that makes him real.

To believe in something that we can't physically see is faith. We must have this faith to 1st believe that He is God and 2nd to do His will. To know His will, we must diligently seek Him. Once we know the will and begin to do His will, then we are the ones who receive the reward.

It is pretty self explainatory to me. If you don't believe in God how can you seek him, come to him or have faith in him? Those that do all these things will be rewarded.

I think that it's talking about the main theme throughout the Bible:
Trust God, and you will end up safe and secure.
Don't trust God and you will fail, and your ending will be cursed.
Trusting God is what He wants from us. It is most important for any of us. It's just that many people think that they have to live a certain kind of life to please God, when He wants our trust. If we trust Him, His Spirit moves through us and we become in according to His will. But so many are taking that away from Him after they are saved.

I think it means that pretenders and hypocrites will go to hell with all atheists like myself.
