7 UNQUESTIONINGLY Neh 8:14-17 – Had the attitude of Samuel 1Sam 3:10 - ready to accept what God said without reservation – Even Christ became obedient to the Father's will Heb 5:8,9 – Those on Pentecost "gladly received the word" Acts 2:41 – Freedom from sin comes after obedience Rom 6:17,18 – To enter the kingdom - must do the Father's will Matt 7:21 HEARING LIKE ISRAEL HEARD Nehemiah Chapter 8

8 We must listen to the advice of our Lord and take heed how we hear. Lk 8:18 Hearing without obedience is not hearing in the Bible usage of the term Christ is the author of salvation to them that obey Him Heb 5:8,9 HEARING LIKE ISRAEL HEARD Nehemiah Chapter 8
