For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. Hebrews 4:2
Do you remember what happened to the children of Israel in the wilderness? The heard the voice of God, they saw His mighty works, yet the adults who left Egypt died in the desert, failing to make it into the promised land. Reason? They did not mix the word they received with faith. Here is the reminder and warning for all of us. We can hear His word, know His mighty works, but without faith we cannot please Him. Let's not find ourselves falling short of our promised land in heaven.
