Verse of the Day (May 1, 2020) #BMSeminary – [impossible to please] Enoch pleased God because he had faith. Without such faith it is not possible for anyone to “walk with God” or “please him” (cf. 10:38). [he exists] The emphasis here is on “he,” the true God. Genuine faith does not simply believe that a divine being exists, but that the God of Scripture is the only real and true God who exists. Not believing that God exists is equivalent to calling him a liar (cf. 1 John 5:10). [rewards] A person must believe not only that the true God exists, but also that he will reward men’s faith in him with forgiveness and righteousness, because he has promised to do so (cf. Heb. 10:35; Gen. 15:1; Deut. 4:29; 1 Chron. 28:9; Ps. 58:11; Isa. 40:10). (MacArthur Study Bible)
