What does the Bible say about hearing Jesus?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible emphasizes the importance of hearing and abiding in Jesus' words to effectively communicate with Him in prayer.

In John 15:7, Jesus declares that if we abide in Him and His words abide in us, we can ask whatever we wish, and it will be done. This underscores the necessity of hearing Jesus; it is not merely about the act of hearing but about deeply assimilating His teachings into our lives. The call is to internalize and live out the truths Jesus imparts, for it is through this intimate relationship that our prayers gain power at the mercy-seat.

To truly hear means that His words should become a dominating influence in our character, shaping our desires and actions. When we submit our will to the Lord and allow His truth to govern us, we open ourselves to an immense privilege in prayer—a promise that He will respond when we align ourselves with His will. Therefore, a genuine desire to intercede effectively for the church and the world must be accompanied by diligent attention to Jesus' voice and a commitment to obey His commands.
