Hebrews 11:6
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.
This is a very sacramental teaching which points to our attitude in the sacraments. Especially the sacrament of baptism. In another place (Mark 16:16) Scripture says, "He that believes and is baptized will be saved. But he who does not believe will be condemned."
Therefore, when we approach the sacraments, we must believe that God will keep his promises. If we do not believe that will give us that which he promised to give us in the sacraments, we condemn ourselves. It is a little bit more plainly explained in another verse:
1 Cor 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
So we're still in the book of Hebrews. And Hebrews still reminds me of "he brews". And the number 1 can be represented by the letter T or D. and the number 6 can be represented by j, ch, sh, g (soft).
One of my favorite foods is dates. Yes, Palm dates. So, will say that, "he brews DaTes with SHugar." For the picture we see a Hebrew dipping dates and pouring sugar into a teacup.
Now I want to try something a little bit new. Let's visualize a little square. In the upper left-hand corner, we visualize our Hebrew, but without a face. This is to symbolize, "but without faith".
Now move to our upper right-hand corner, then visualize an older man dressed in a white, is sporting a long beard and long white hair. This represents God and he is wagging his finger as though he is not pleased with the Hebrew. This is to represent, "it is impossible to please him".
Let's move to the lower left-hand corner, and our Hebrew is walking towards God. This refers to, "he that comes to God must believe that he is".
And now we'll move to our lower right-hand corner and see God showering the Hebrew with gifts and treasures. This represents, "that he is old rewarder of those who diligently seeking."
All right, I hope that works.
Sincerely,
De Maria
