“You do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
If one does not read or listen to these words of the Bible, it means they do not belong to God. If one does not listen to sermons that preach this Bible, they do not belong to God.
Jesus determines whether someone belongs to God or not, whether they are a person of God or not. He judges not by outward appearance but with righteousness. And righteousness is an attitude toward the Word. One is righteous when acting according to God's will, and since Jesus' words are truth, accepting them is righteousness.
The Korean church does not have a good attitude toward the Word. They do not read the Bible well. Reading the Bible means following its words. It is about realizing the message given to oneself through the Word.
