How can we prepare our hearts for listening to the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Preparing our hearts to listen involves prayer and a readiness to receive God's Word with humility and eagerness.

To effectively hear the Gospel, believers must approach the preaching of the Word with an attitude of humility and expectancy. Prayer is essential, asking the Lord to open our hearts to His truth, as Paul encouraged in Ephesians 6:18 when he sought prayer for utterance. A heart that longs for God's revelation, much like Samuel's plea, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant hears' (1 Samuel 3:10), goes a long way in receiving the preached Word, allowing it to transform and encourage faith.
