Not the Same

Not the Same: Hearing and Understanding

"When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.

Matthew 13:19

Not the Same: Knowing and Believing

Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons. She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and

weeping. When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her,

they refused to believe it.

Mark 16:9-11

Not the Same: Believing and Doing

What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works?

Can that faith save him?

James 2:14

Hear, Know, Believe, and Do!

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things

you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice

these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:8-9
