What does it mean to receive God's words?

To receive God's words implies an active acceptance of His teachings, which includes hiding His commandments in our hearts as outlined in Proverbs 2:1-5. This reception is not simply a passive acknowledgment but requires an active engagement with the scriptures through faith. It also means recognizing that such ability to receive is empowered by God’s grace, demonstrating the transformative work He performs in our lives. When we receive His words, we are inclined towards wisdom, applying our hearts to understand more fully the nature of God and our salvation.
