https://youtu.be/6RPVkpuiddU?si=nyF-tTYP8rOHBsqV The word of God has an effect in our lives when we read our Bible. We are informed by the word of God. Without hearing the word of God, we cannot benefit from it. The Bible teaches us all things which we need to know in order to live our lives for God's glory. We must know what the Bible is saying and understand what it is teaching us to do. For us to know what we ought to do, we must listen attentively to the things which we are hearing from the word of God.
Some people hear without listening. Hearing something without listening is like hearing a sound that has no meaning. Hearing alone cannot be profitable to us. We should be able to apply what we have heard in our lives so that we can be obedient to the word. This is why listening is applicable. Listen to the word of God. Let the word enter your heart. Take time to meditate on the word of God. In this way the power of God shall gain control over your life and you will be able to obey the word of God.
Why should someone be a christian for year without any fruits of the word of God seen in him? How you have been going to church all these days without living your life according to the word of God? That is not a good way to be related to God. We should be able to produce the fruits that tell the world that we are the children of God. We should show forth in our lives what the commandments of God are. The Bible says that with their fruits you will know them. If you are not listening to what you are hearing, there is no way you will be able to show good fruits as the child of God..
