Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that HE is and that HE is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Faith and grace have always gone together. They coexist in the same area of time and space. Why you may ask, because we have to have faith that the blood of Christ and His grace upon us allows us to go before the Throne of God in prayer. The law has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus, it has done it's part pointing to the only one who can save us. But we many times place the law upon ourselves and others to why we have not received something from God. We hold up the reasons that God cannot reward our faith because we have unaccomplished things and un submitted areas before God. We look harder at those areas than at the rewarder of those who seek Him. I am doing that right now in my life, not looking to God to help me but going through all the reasons in my heart why He should not. That is not a good place to be because it causes us to worry away our prayers. I am making a decision to seek God and believe that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. No one is perfect and God doesn't reward us for doing everything right. Grace fills that gap and opens the way for us to receive a reward from the Father. That doesn't give us the right to make grace cheap and just do whatever we want, but it does free those who are walking with God to live this thing out.
