13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. (NKJV)
We trust, focus faith on Christ Jesus when we actually hear “the word of Truth.” Until that moment we have not heard the Truth!
There is a great difference between physically hearing and spiritually perceiving.
Repeatedly in the book of Revelation, we find, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Rev 2:11/NKJV)
Those who do not hear with spiritual ears cannot hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Churches.
Have you heard the voice of god?
Those who have been chosen to be a part of the body of Christ have heard the voice of God the Holy Spirit as He opens the door of salvation to the chosen. When we hear the Truth we respond in the affirmative!
From the moment on Christ Jesus is our Lord (Gr. kurios-κύριος), our owner and proprietor. We are His lump of clay and He is the Master Potter molding us into that which is useful in the plan for the ages.
Rejoice that He has called and appointed you to life forevermore in Himself!
