A lot of people can easily hear the word of God and it can be sinking in their mind. The Bible teaches us that many people hear the word but they do not practice the word.
Instead of them they continue to commit sin. True listening involves understanding his will and allowing you to transform our thoughts, attitudes and actions.
When we are but do not listen to God, we become spiritual and miss his guidance. God desires people who not only hear his word but also do his word and obey it. A life that listens to God is inflected humility and repentance of God.
And we must follow his commandment in all his teachings so that we can emulate Jesus Christ the way he lives here on earth and also do more.
