How do Christians receive the word of God effectively?

Answered in 1 source

Christians receive the word effectively by believing it as the true word of God, which works within those who believe.

In 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul notes that the Thessalonians received the preaching of the gospel not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God. This reception is characterized by a sincere belief in its divine origin and authority. When Christians embrace the word with faith, it has a transformative effect, working powerfully within them to produce faith, obedience, and life changes consistent with the character of Christ. This underscores the necessity of preaching that clearly presents the gospel, allowing the Holy Spirit to work mightily in the hearts of believers.
