Listen up!

“Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” (Mark 4:23 NLT)

Faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” (Rom. 10:17 ESV)

Listen to Jesus’ teaching and receive more understanding

“Then he added, ‘Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.’” (Mark 4:24-25 NLT)

Therefore…

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matt. 11:15 ESV)

“As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.” (Luke 8:15 ESV)
