"The word did not profit those who heard it, because
it was not mixed with faith." Hebrews 4:2

He does not speak here of unbelievers—but of those
who had faith in the soul—but not in the exercise; and
therefore the word did not profit them. They heard,
and were never the better. And what was the ground
of it? Why, it was because they did not exercise faith
upon the word. The words which fell from the preacher's
lips into their ears, were a sweet potion—but they did not
work effectually, because they lacked the ingredient of
faith. Faith is one of those glorious ingredients, which
makes every sermon, every truth, work for their souls'
advantage. Nothing will work for a believer's good, for
his gain—if it is not mixed with faith. Nothing makes a
man rich in spirituals, like the frequent and constant
actings of faith.
