John Chapter 8, Verse 47
From BibleWiki
47: ο ων εκ του θεου τα ρηματα του θεου ακουει δια τουτο υμεις ουκ ακουετε οτι εκ του θεου ουκ εστε
47: He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not of God.
47: He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear
them not, because you are not of God.
He that is of God. He that loves, fears, and honours God.
Heareth God's words. Listens to, or attends to the doctrines or commandments of God, as a child who loves his parent will regard and obey his commandments. This is an evidence of true piety. A willingness to receive all that God teaches us, and to obey all his commandments, is an undoubted proof that we are his friends, Jn 14:21 1Jn 2:4, 1Jn 3:24.
As the Jews did not show a readiness to obey the commands of God, it proved that they were not of him, and to this was owing their rejection of the Lord Jesus.
