Importance of Hearing What You Already Know

Have you considered the importance of hearing and recalling the truths you already know? Jeffrey D. Johnson emphasizes the necessity of reminding ourselves of the Gospel truths we've learned. Drawing from his own experiences as a young preacher, he highlights the value of repetition in absorbing and retaining the message of the Scriptures. Despite knowing the Gospel, we often forget - hence, the disciple-making process largely consists of repeating the same truth over and over. The beauty and the glory of the Gospel become more evident as we repeatedly hear it. Even if we have known these truths since childhood, it is crucial to constantly remind ourselves of them. This act of remembrance, practiced daily and weekly, aids in our preservation and continuous growth as disciples of Christ. The Gospel never tires us; instead, its repeated recall serves as a nourishment for our souls. 2 Peter 1:12 (NKJV): "For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth."
