Why is it important for Christians to hear Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Hearing Jesus is vital for Christians because faith comes by hearing, and He reveals the truths of salvation through His Word.

For Christians, hearing Jesus is essential because it is through His spoken Word that we receive faith and understanding of salvation. As Romans 10:17 states, 'Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.' This signifies that experiencing powerful spectacles or events is not what leads to faith; rather, it is through the clear communication of God’s truth in scripture that we come to know Christ and His salvific work. Jesus' emphasis on hearing Him invites believers to immerse themselves in His teachings, allowing the Holy Spirit to illuminate their hearts and minds to the realities of His grace. The transfiguration event underscores this principle; while it was a miraculous moment, Jesus emphasized the need to listen to Him, the source of eternal life and truth.
