Listening is not merely the act of hearing words but involves a deeper, spiritual attentiveness and responsiveness to God's voice and commandments. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, listening is often associated with the Hebrew word "shema," which means to hear or listen with the intent to obey. This is exemplified in the Shema prayer found in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4-5</a>: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Here, listening is linked to loving God and following His commandments. The Israelites are repeatedly called to listen to God's laws and decrees. In <a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5</a>, God tells the Israelites, "Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine." Listening is equated with obedience and is a condition for receiving God's blessings. Prophets often called the people to listen to God's warnings and promises. In <a href="/isaiah/55-3.htm">Isaiah 55:3</a>, the prophet urges, "Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, My loving devotion assured to David." Listening here is a pathway to life and covenant relationship with God. New Testament Context In the New Testament, listening takes on a Christocentric focus. Jesus frequently emphasizes the importance of listening to His words. In <a href="/matthew/7-24.htm">Matthew 7:24</a>, He states, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." Listening to Jesus involves not only hearing but also acting upon His teachings. The parable of the sower in <a href="/matthew/13-9.htm">Matthew 13:9</a> highlights the importance of listening with understanding: "He who has ears, let him hear." This call to listen is a call to discernment and spiritual insight, distinguishing those who truly grasp the message of the Kingdom from those who do not. The apostles also stress the importance of listening to God's word. In <a href="/james/1-22.htm">James 1:22</a>, believers are admonished, "Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." Listening is portrayed as incomplete without corresponding action. Spiritual Implications Listening in the biblical sense is a spiritual discipline that requires humility and a willingness to submit to God's authority. It is an act of faith, recognizing that God's wisdom surpasses human understanding. In <a href="/romans/10-17.htm">Romans 10:17</a>, Paul writes, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Listening is foundational to faith, as it is through hearing the word of Christ that faith is nurtured and grows. The Bible also warns against the dangers of failing to listen. In <a href="/hebrews/3-15.htm">Hebrews 3:15</a>, believers are cautioned, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." A hardened heart is one that refuses to listen, leading to spiritual stagnation and separation from God. Conclusion Listening in the Bible is a multifaceted concept that encompasses hearing, understanding, and obeying God's word. It is essential for a vibrant faith and a fruitful relationship with God. Through listening, believers are called to align their lives with God's will, experiencing His guidance, blessings, and eternal promises.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Listen.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1873.htm">1873. epakouo -- to listen to, to hearken to</a> ... attentive) hearing.
