He who is of God hears God’s words.
What a powerful, dramatic, clear cut statement. It cuts right to the bone. It leaves no room for debate. If you are of God you will hear His word. If you don’t hear His word you are not of God.
How do you and I do with that test? Are we people who hear the word of God or are we people who slough it off when we hear it? The kind of hearing Jesus is talking about here is hearing that has an impact. It is hearing that settles in and takes root.
So much of the professing parts of the church do not show any evidence of hearing God's word. Some folks hear the noise, but it has no impact at all. It does not change their lives.
But how about you and me? Are we hearing God’s word and is our hearing having an impact on our day to day lives?
