How do we know that the command to hearken and do is true?

Answered in 1 source

The command to hearken and do is firmly rooted in the Scriptures and affirmed by Jesus and the apostles.

The foundation for understanding the command to hearken and do is found throughout the Bible. In Deuteronomy 4:1-2, Moses clearly instructs the Israelites to hearken to God's statutes so that they may live and possess the promised land, linking listening to active obedience. Additionally, in the New Testament, Jesus emphasizes this when he says, 'He that hath ears to hear, let him hear,' indicating that true understanding must lead to action. The apostles further reiterate this principle, demonstrating how the commands of Christ emphasize loving one another as a natural outcome of genuine faith, thus ensuring that those who have received the Spirit will both hear and act accordingly.
