God now speaks to us through His Word, rather than through the apostles and prophets, as He did before His will was completely revealed. Today, we have the complete written Word so we can know His will. Since He now speaks to us through His Word, we should hear Him by studying His Word and listening to what He has to say.
| Mark 4:20 |

a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of
the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear
Him!" |

But
He [Jesus] answered and said to them, "My mother and My
brothers are these who hear the word of God and do
it." |
| John 8:47 |
He who is of God hears God's
words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God. |
| John 10:27 |
[Jesus said] My sheep hear My
voice, and I know them, and they follow
Me . |

hearing, believed and were
baptized. |

So
then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God. |
