Without faith it is impossible to please God - Hebrews 11.6. So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10.17. Christians are commanded to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior - 2. Peter 3.18. Knowledge is one of the Christian graces we are to add to our faith - 2 Peter 1.5-7. Eternal life is knowing God and Jesus the Christ, whom He has sent - John 3.17, and is only possible through our knowledge of God's word - 2 Peter 1.2-3. It is our duty to learn and to teach all that Christ has commanded us - Matthew 28.20. Jesus said: "If you continue in My word, then you are My disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free" - John 8.31-32. In prayer to the Father, Jesus said: "Your word is truth" - John 17.17. God's word is that truth which sets us free. God's word can be understood, so do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is - Ephesians 5.17.
