What does it mean to have a 'hearing ear'?

Answered in 1 source

A 'hearing ear' refers to the ability to understand and embrace the gospel as good news.

Having a 'hearing ear' signifies a heart and mind that's receptive to the truths of the gospel. It is a spiritual awakening facilitated by God’s grace, allowing an individual to perceive the gospel not just as doctrine but as the very power of salvation (Luke 22:51). Just as Malchus received healing and potentially the ability to hear spiritually, so too does the Lord grant understanding and belief to His elect. This divine enablement leads to a transformed life marked by a desire to follow Christ and serve Him out of love, as opposed to obligation. This 'hearing ear' is evidence of God’s initiative in salvation, underscoring His role as the one who calls us to Himself.
