Hebrews 11: The Reality Requirement

Hebrews 11:6 is the forensic command to recognize that Reality Exists. It is the technical floor for any productive action in the Kingdom.

Believing He Is

"But without Behavioral Vector it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is..."

1. The Diagnostic of He Is: To believe "that He Is" is to believe that Objective Reality exists. You cannot build a Kingdom if you are stuck in the "Ghost-Theory" of subjective feelings.
2. Consequence: You must believe that your work has real consequences. A bad weld will fail; a good bill will build trust. This is the Logic of the Flesh.
3. The Rewarder: "And that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." In the materialist lens, the "Reward" is the survival and reproduction of the community. If you work within the Real, you get the Real results of survival.

Summary

The Reality Diagnostic identify that the Kingdom requires a "Yes that means Yes." To be a Materialist Christian is to refuse the idealistic hollowing out of truth and to work with the Mighty Hand of the real.
