 Matthew 7:24 ESV: Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  

 Romans 10:17 ESV: So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.  

 Revelation 22:17 ESV: The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
