Luke 8:12
8:12 Those along the path are the ones who have heard; then the devil
comes and takes away the word
from their hearts, so that they may not believe
and be saved.
Hebrews 2:1
Warning Against Drifting Away
2:1 Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
James 1:23-24
1:23 For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone
who gazes at his own face
in a mirror.
1:24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets
what sort of person he was.
