Answered in 1 source
You can be sure you have ears to hear the gospel if you find genuine understanding and desire for Christ in your heart.
To have ears that hear the gospel means experiencing a spiritual awakening brought about by the Holy Spirit. This awakening allows an individual to not only grasp the message of the gospel but also to feel an authentic desire and need for Christ. When one recognizes their sinfulness and turns to Christ in faith, this reflects an inner transformation made possible by God’s grace. You may ask yourself whether you recognize your need for Christ and whether you feel drawn to Him. If your spiritual eyes have been opened and your heart longs to know Him, it is a strong indication that you have been granted ears to hear the gospel.
