Dullness Of Hearing Is The Central Disease
- The disease in Hebrews is spiritual dullness: hearts that hear the word but do not respond in faith.
- This dullness explains repeated commands like 'pay close attention' and 'don't harden your hearts.'
Opposite Of Dullness Is Diligent Reception
- Dullness means the preached word fails to unite with faith and produce assurance and patience.
- The opposite is diligence: receiving a message of hope so assurance and patient endurance grow.
Hearing Is Not The Same As Receiving
- Hearing the word physically can occur while the heart remains hard, so the message 'did not profit them.'
- Spiritual receptivity matters more than mere auditory exposure to Scripture.
