What does it mean to listen to the Word of God?

Les explains that there is no work whatsoever in hearing, and that is how faith comes. We contemplate the truth that Christ died and rose from the dead, and we believe it; by believing it, we are listening to the Word of God. Faith is taking God at His Word: God said it, we believe it, and God recognizes it. On that basis, He moves in and does everything that needs to be done. Les admits this is simplification, but Scripture says it is by faith, not the works of the Law. The flesh refers to the Law, which was fleshly, weak, and beggarly. The Spirit was received not by the works of the Law, but by the hearing of faith. Repetition helps these things soak in.
