Hear, Receive, Love, Obey!

In Psalm 119: 101 in the Amplified Version of the Bible it says, "I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your Word (hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it)." That sounds like an amazing approach to God's word. That we might first of all have an ear to hear the word, and second that we would receive it because, thirdly we love it, and as a result would obey it. Some hear the word and do nothing. Others hear the word but won't receive it for various reasons, one being they didn't like the way it was served to them. Jesus said if we loved him we should keep his commandments. If we love Jesus we will love his word and we will certainly obey it.
