Ouvir
Ouvir é uma disciplina espiritual essencial. A Bíblia exorta: 'Quem tem ouvidos, ouça.' A fé vem pelo ouvir, e ouvir é mais que escutar — é obedecer e agir.
A fé vem pelo ouvir
Sem ouvir a Palavra, não há fé. A pregação do evangelho gera fé nos corações de quem ouve com disposição e humildade.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people’s heart has grown callous;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn, and I would heal them.’
Ouvir e obedecer
Não basta ouvir — é preciso praticar. Quem ouve a Palavra e a pratica é como o homem sábio que edificou sobre a rocha.
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.
But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell— and great was its collapse!"

Deus ouve nossas orações
O Senhor ouve os que clamam a Ele de coração sincero. Ele inclina os ouvidos para as nossas súplicas e responde com fidelidade.
I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice —
my appeal for mercy.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
I will call on Him as long as I live.
In my distress I called upon the LORD;
I cried to my God for help.
From His temple He heard my voice,
and my cry for His help reached His ears.
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
and His ears are inclined to their cry.
In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice;
at daybreak I lay my plea before You
and wait in expectation.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning,
for I have put my trust in You.
Teach me the way I should walk,
for to You I lift up my soul.
And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save,
nor His ear too dull to hear.
Ouvir a voz de Deus

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.

You are to follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him.
Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
Sabedoria no ouvir
Seja pronto para ouvir e tardio para falar. A sabedoria começa com a disposição de ouvir instrução e aceitar correção.
He who answers a matter before he hears it—
this is folly and disgrace to him.
Whoever heeds instruction will find success,
and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.
My son, keep your father’s commandment,
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but he who ignores reproof goes astray.
Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law,
even his prayer is detestable.
It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke
than to listen to the song of fools.
All things are wearisome,
more than one can describe;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear content with hearing.

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.[’’]
Behold, the days are coming,
declares the Lord GOD,
when I will send a famine on the land —
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
And Jethro rejoiced over all the good things the LORD had done for Israel, whom He had rescued from the hand of the Egyptians.
For the waves of death engulfed me;
the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
The cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the LORD;
I cried out to my God.
And from His temple He heard my voice,
and my cry for help reached His ears.
