To: Hebrews 11:6
Oh! You're funny.

Do you have a Hebrews 11 robot that searches the innerweb for references to the Book?

LOL

Actually, I was referring to the crown of your illustrious chapter (vvs 39,40)

However, v. 6 is worth repeating (and memorizing):

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

And it is fitting to repeat because it says a person must believe that the one true God exists, AND that he will reward men's faith in him with forgiveness and righteousness. And that's just what He promises to do.

I love God's Word.

No robot--I was pinged to the thread and read your post.

I contend that Heb.11:6 is the threshold verse of the Bible. The gospel is inherent in it.

Hebrews has been a special blessing for me. God directed me initially, twenty years ago, to 11:6, and I meditated on it for two years. It's been my FR name for 17 years (note that my tagline incorporates it, in an in-your-face manner).

Speaking of memorizing: three years ago the Spirit prompted me to memorize the first half of Chapter 12; then, because that begins with "Therefore," I memorized Ch. 11, the chapter you cited. Finally, six months ago He challenged me to memorize the entire letter, which I did over four months. (By the way, the next time you read Hebrews, take note how often the author uses "Therefore" in building his sequential argument.)

Now, He's challenged me further: I'm about to tackle Romans.
