Hebrews 11:6

Without faith, it is impossible (powerless, fruitless – Gk.adunatos) to please [him], for whoever approaches God must (needs to) believe that he exists (is, is there) and that he rewards (literally: becomes a rewarder to) those who devotedly seek (persistently and earnestly ask for) him. [James 4:8]
[If faith is lacking, i.e., if we are not faithful to God and do not trust in him, problems arise – the Greek word for impossible can also be translated as powerless or incapable. It is therefore impossible to please or delight him. God wants us to seek him with eager anticipation of his goodness, see James 1:6–8.]
