The word “because” means “for the reason that…; since.”  It is a conjunction…it is “used to express cause or reason.”

The writer of Hebrews used the word “…because…” in the following way.
(NASB) Hebrews 4:2 “For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also (the Israelites when they were led out of slavery in Egypt); but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.”
(Underlining added)

How sad!  “…but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.”
They did not believe God!  What you and I believe is acted upon in all of our circumstances.  What are you choosing?  Upon what “…because…” are you acting?

Because I am a follower of Christ; because I am a child of God, I am to respond to others in the way that will please my God.
“…because…” I have been rescued and redeemed from a life of slavery to sin.

God says:
(NIV) Ephesians 4:17-24 “So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.  18They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.  19Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
  20You, however, did not come to know Christ that way.  21Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.  22You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”

When we read/study God’s word, we are to believe that God means what He says and says what He means.  “…because… He does not say something to “tickle our ears.”

We are to listen!  God is speaking to us about how to respond to others!  It is “…because…” God says so.

Are you profiting from God’s word “…because…” you agree by faith with His word?

The word “…because…” is important, it reveals your reasons for your belief and actions.

You are invited to share this devotional with others…it is one way you can be giving out God’s word to all who will come to faith in the Lord Jesus.  It is also a way to encourage others as they walk in the hard times as well as the good times of life “…because…”
