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
We put a lot of emphasis on hearing the Word of God. It's very important. We need to study the Bible to learn what God wants for us. However, if we study it without faith, it will not profit us. We could be a theologian that is just as lost as an atheist if we don't have faith as we study the Bible. We need to believe the Bible to benefit from it. We need the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit to understand it. It needs to affect our lives so that we can be saved.
Lord, help me to study Your Word and hear the good news of the gospel in true faith so that I can profit from it. I want it to be something that affects my life and not just something that is a good subject for debate. Help me to seek the truth and love it.
