“For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.”
For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not combine it with faith — the parallel between the wilderness generation and contemporary readers is exact: both received the gospel, but the difference lies in faith. Faith is the binding agent that makes the word effective in the hearer's life.
