Hebrews 1:6b, "anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
One of the accusations against the faith of Christians is that it is bad faith. "Christians believe, critics say, not because of good reasons but because they are afraid not to believe. Without faith, they would be naked to the alternatives, such as the terror of meaninglessness or the nameless dread of unspecified guilt. Faith is therefore a handy shield to ward off the fear, a comforting tune to whistle in the darkness; it is, however, fundamentally untrue, irrational, and illegitimate - and therefore 'inauthentic' and 'bad faith.'"
