Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 11:6

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.

The Spirit here proveth, that Enoch pleased God by Faith, though it was not expresly written in his Text by Moses, because of the impossibility of pleasing God without Faith; but without Faith upon God in Christ, whom Enoch pleased; it is absolutely impossible to do any thing acceptable to God, so as to be justified by him; for infidelity or want of Faith makes God a Liar, 1 Iohn 5.10. Christ a Vanity, Iohn 5.40. and God's Will a Deceit, which peremptorily saith, there is no pleasing of him but by Faith in Christ, Iohn 14.6. The Effect c[illegible: 2 letters]not not exist without its Cause, as is proved in the next words.

For whoever he be, every particular Soul that cometh off from Sin to God, so as to be under his conduct and influence, makes out by spiritual motions of his Mind, Will, Affections and Members, in Thoughts, Desires, Resolutions and Operations to enjoy God, so as to be accepted with, justified by, and blessed of him; and at present makes his access to him with liberty and boldness in Prayer, or any other Duty through Christ.

He must really, fully, and supernaturally receive all that which God revealeth in his Word is pleasing to him, especially concerning himself; as, that he is the primitive perfect Being, and the Cause of all; that he is three in Relations, and one in Essence, most excellent in all his Attributes, Infinitely Wise, Powerful, Just, Good and Eternal, &c. The Supreme Creator and Governor of, and Law-giver to all.

And that he will recompence all Men according to be the reward of his, and whatever he can be to, or do for them for their good, Gen. 15.1. But to those only, who with an intent Heart and Spirit pursue him by Faith; Love; and longing after him as their supreamest Good, Isa. 45.22. Rom. 2.6, 12. Rev. 22.12.
