The sheep hear the Good Shepherd’s voice. In this episode of Faith Comes by Hearing, Dr. Larson illustrates that to hear Christ’s voice is to believe. Hearing His voice means staying close to Him so that he may be heard over the noise of this world. Wise sheep always stay near their shepherd who guides them sustenance and provides safety from predators. It is no different with Christ's Church.

To love Christ Jesus is to heed His good and perfect will. Children who are baptized into the resurrected and living Christ Jesus are of His chief concern. In this episode of Faith Comes by Hearing, Dr. Larson exhorts us and the church that there is no greater expression of gratitude for our salvation than to feed Christ's little lambs.

While we might not face the same fear as the early Church, we do encounter cultural opposition to Christianity. Dr. Larson encourages us to find inspiration from the apostles, who boldly preached the message of salvation through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus in the face of resistance. This message encourages us to obey God and proclaim Christ crucified over concerns about the outcomes, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us in all things.
