Verse 6
Walking by faith involves not only believing that God exists but also believing that he will reward the faithful. The original readers faced temptation to abandon that hope, as we do. Note that those He will reward are those who "are seeking after Him" (present tense in Greek), not believers who have stopped seeking after Him. Ultimately we know God’s will by faith.
In almost all of the following exemplars of faith that the writer cited, there is a clear and direct relationship between faith and reward. [Note: Lane, Hebrews 9-13, p. 339.]
"The best way to grow in faith is to walk with the faithful." [Note: Wiersbe, 2:318.]
