What does the Bible say about hearing and doing God's word?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes that hearing God's word must lead to action, encapsulated in the commands to 'hearken and do.'

The Scriptures make it clear that hearing God's word involves more than just physical hearing; it means to hear intelligently and diligently. In Deuteronomy 4:1-2, Moses instructs the Israelites to hearken to the statutes and judgments, emphasizing that this attentive hearing should result in action: 'do them.' This is a fundamental principle in the faith where believers are called to not only listen to the word of God but to live it out actively in their lives. Hence, true faith is validated by good works that flow from genuine hearing of God's truth.
