How should we respond to god’s words?

2 Timothy 3:16

training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

16Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Why aren’t we attentive to god’s words?

1. We have doubts.

4. We are distracted by good things.
