To hear or to listen

As we walk out our salvation with fear and trembling, we have a responsibility to make sure that we have subscribed to the truth.  We do not take the words we hear in teachings and simply accept them.  We are to take what we are taught and compare it to the word of God to see whether it is true.  Let us be sure to discern between the truth and the lies so that we are not deceived by false teachings, by false gospels and man's own ways.  The Spirit reveals the truth of the scriptures to us if that is what we are really pursuing.
