When we were in school, we were held responsible for the information taught to us. We always had to face an examination to evaluate what we had learned. On the job, the same sort of examination occurs in job performance reviews. How well did we use the information given to us.
In Luke 8:18 Jesus says, “Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he things that he has will be taken away.” We are responsible for the truth that we hear. If we understand it, believe it, and use it, then we will receive more. If we hear truth, but don’t seek to understand or believe it and use it, then the truth becomes useless for us.
