"But what does it say? 'The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart' -that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.'" -Romans 10:8-10 (NASB)
"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." -Romans 10:17 (NASB)

One of the "new" skills addressed by school standards are speaking and listening. It may seem that speaking and listening come naturally, but that isn't always the case. To truly listen, requires taking the time to really hear what is said or understand what is read. When we read the Bible or attend worship, we need to truly listen!
God presents His message to us in different ways, whether we read it, hear it, or experience it. In all of these ways, God is trying to get our hearts to hear His message. Once we hear God's Word, we are called to respond to it. Hearing God can give us faith and stir our hearts. In this faith we can then confess our sins, experience God's love, believe in God's plan for our Salvation, and experience all God has to offer us for eternity! By hearing God, we can have faith and eternal life!
Truly hear God's Word, then have faith and accept Salvation!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and teaching me. Help me to truly hear what You are telling me in Your Word, in my heart, and through my experiences. Through Jesus, my Redeemer, I pray, amen.
