AE 710a - "Blessed are they . . ."

AE 710a [9]
Jesus said, Yea, rather blessed are they
that hear the Word of God and keep it.
(Luke 11:28)

"Blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it,"
which describes the regeneration
that is effected by truths from the Word and a life according to them;
"to hear the Word of God" signifies to learn truths from the Word,
and "to keep it" signifies to live according to those truths.
