Any good chef knows that when the recipe calls for mixing the ingredients,
He or she either manually or with a mixing device, mixes to the specifications of what the dish calls for. Because without following proper directions, the entree will be devoid of the flavor necessary to the consumers palate. This would constitute a loss in business and an eventual closing of the chefs business.
Very easily understood in this sense, yet if we don’t mix faith with what we have heard, we will be devoid of the ability to please God, and thus, he won’t be able to Bring us into that place of blessing he desires. Mix mix faith with the word of God.
Hebrews 4:2
2 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.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
