The Gateway to Life is Hearing
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, emphasize that salvation enters the soul through 'Ear-gate.' The verse repeatedly urges us to 'incline your ear' and 'hear.' This highlights that attentively listening to God's gospel message is the primary way to receive spiritual life, as 'faith comes by hearing.' It is not about what we see or do, but about receiving God's life-giving word.
