Hear it, See it.

Hearing God’s Word

King James Version Chapter 4

any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,

I. Hearing a truth is not the end, but the beginning. After it is learnt, it is to be applied, kept, obeyed.

Hear with discrimination, stay away from false doctrine.

Hear with attention: realty and earnestly hearing.

Hear for yourself, with personal application.

Hear retentively, endeavoring to remember the truth.

Hear desiring, praying that the Word may be blessed to you.

Hear practically, obeying the exhortation which has come to you.

This hearing is to be given, not to a favorite set of doctrine, but to the whole of the Word of God (Ps. 119:128).

II. “With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you.”

In proportion as you give yourself to hearing, you shall gain by hearing.

Those who have no interest in the Word find it uninteresting.

Those who desire to find fault finds fault enough.

Those seek solid truth learn it from any faithful ministry.

Those who hunger find food.

Those who bring faith receive assurance.

Those who come joyfully are made glad.

III. Unto you that hear shall more be given.

You that heart shall have:

More desire to hear.

More understanding of what you hear.

More convincing of the truth of what you hear.

More personal possession of the blessings of which you hear.

More delight while hearing the glorious gospel.

More practical benefit there from.

God giveth more to those who value they have.

Let us say:

Hear. it is your wisdom to know what God says.

Hear well. God teaching deserves the deepest attention. It will repay the best consideration.

Hear often. Waste no Sunday nor any services.

Hear better. You will grow the holier thereby you will find heavenly joy by hearing with faith.

King James Version Chapter 1

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath

King James Version Chapter 10

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
