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

In Luke 6:46-47, Jesus asks, 'Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?' This statement highlights the necessity of not only professing faith in Christ but also showing it through obedience to His commands. True belief manifests itself in genuine action, proving that one is indeed a follower of Christ. As shown in various parables, actions rooted in faith demonstrate a heart truly transformed by God's grace. This underscores that faith without works is dead, as mentioned in James 2:26.
