Q135. Why not possible to please him without believing?

Because in all true worship, a man 'must believe that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.' Besides, he that worships God, must also of necessity believe his word, else he cannot worship with that reverence and fear that becomes him, but will do it in a superstitious profane manner: 'For whatsoever is not of faith is sin'.

Romans 14:23

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because not of faith: for whatsoever not of faith is sin.
