Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not (Mga Kasabihan 8:32-33)
Jesus speaks to the children, to the sons of God, which we have become in Him. By the sacrifice of Jesus, and by His resurrection, we have become, through faith in Him, and by regeneration, sons of God. We are not sons of man anymore, but we have become sons of God.
Listen to Jesus
Jesus speaks to the sons and commands them to listen to Him. We, as sons of God, ought to listen to Jesus; ang Salita. We should keep His ways, na ang ibig sabihin ay dapat nating sundin ang Kanyang mga utos, and not turn away from them.
Don’t refuse Jesus’ instruction
Because of pride, many times people refuses the instruction of Jesus (ang Salita), because they think they know it better or have their own opinion, which doesn’t line up with the Word.
But if you want to stay in Him, then you will hear His instruction and apply His instruction in your life. Because only then, shall you become wise, and walk in wisdom. This is not the wisdom of the world. Because the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God. But it shall be the wisdom of God, that goes beyond all wisdom of man. But you shall only become wise, if you hear His instruction, and apply it in your life.
