What does it mean to receive God's Word?

Answered in 1 source

Receiving God's Word means embracing and welcoming it as divine truth.

To receive God's Word is to welcome and embrace it wholeheartedly. In John 17:8, Jesus states that His disciples received the words given to Him, which signifies acceptance and an intimate understanding of the truth conveyed. Receiving the Word involves more than acknowledging it intellectually; it requires a heart posture that values and loves the truths of Scripture. As believers, we are called to not only accept God's Word but also to rely on it as it shapes our understanding of salvation, sanctification, and our relationship with God. This heartfelt reception is grounded in the understanding that such words are the very life and sustenance for the believer.
