Without faith it is impossible to please
"But without faith it is impossible to please God, because it is necessary that approaches God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him." Heb.11: 6.
A huge practical truth is this. Unbelief is the fruit of pride and is diametrically opposed to humility. The unbeliever refuses to believe in God because there is in himself, in his pride, a reason to believe. If because of some feeling or thought of mine I refuse to believe in God, I am myself making me better than him and this is idolatry. If I refuse to believe in God I am denying also the characteristics and attributes that make it worthy of confidence. There is no greater offense does not trust him, if not worthy of our faith we make Him a liar (1Jn.5: 10).
If God declares his love and I do not believe for whatever reason, I express the pride inherent in my nature. The love of God is poured freely, never attracted to the merits we do not have but for his benevolence and our need. As sinners we must give glory to God and thank our infinite being such a great God of love is concerned. When we come to God we do not think ever in the position we deserve, will never be worthy and good, but in the place He deserves in our hearts.

Detritivores Vs Decomposers
Holiness befits your house.
Sal.93 5.
Your testimonies are very sure, holiness befits your house, O Lord, for ever and ever.
human beings can live together with lies, greed, idolatry, but God can not. Sin can not be in her presence. The Lord's church is the abode of the Almighty, and it is He who rules and judges in it. It is, therefore, necessary to their legitimate children who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, we awareness of the holiness of God, and strive to respect and honor because our works are accepted before God, and the Lord will look with favor. Not because I need to do deeds of righteousness to be saved, but that our life corresponds to the status that the blood of Christ we have achieved in the eyes of the Father.
No other attribute or quality of God is emphasized so strongly as the holiness of God. Not read in Scripture that God is Love, Love, Love, although certainly the love of our Heavenly Father escapes comprehension. You will not find either that God is Almighty, Almighty, Omnipotent, although we do not fit absolutely no doubt that creator and sustainer of heaven and earth has an unlimited power and unlimited. However, in Revelation 4:8 we see that in the heavenly worship the Lord is called "Holy, holy, holy ..."
recognize the holiness of God helps us to understand better the nature of our God, He has revealed to us to us as a God who can not bear the sin and we his children must learn that holiness befits Your house.

"Barefoot."
"And he said: Stay away, off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground." Ex.3 5.
all know that humility is operated by the grace God invaluable. "Put in all humility, is one of the divine precepts. No doubt, knowing the greatness and holiness of our God, the most beautiful ornament for a Christian is humility.
In the call to do the Lord to Moses, the Lord commands to remove the sandals to his servant as a sign of the position to be taken by the future deliverer of Israel before his Lord and God, a position of recognition of the immensity of God and a deep sense of his own unworthiness.
There is nothing more to dishonor God and that is at the same time, more dangerous to us than a life characterized by the false humility. When under the pretext of not fulfilling qualities or conditions to face a task that the Lord calls us, we apologize to God, this is certainly not humility, that we betray before him that if it finds in us the necessary virtues we ascribe the right position or task to which we are called and what would we do without no hesitation. The ability of a servant of God depends on his Lord, who trains them and the attitude of this server must be a sincere appreciation of his own smallness in contrast to the grandeur of God.
