He that is of [belongs to WU] God heareth [listens to WU] God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Jh 8:43-47 If you're aligned with God, love him and his principles, you belong to him and he will guide you to repenting and believing in Jesus. And, since what Jesus said is in harmony with God, this makes it easy. To whatever extent you are not aligned, you need to repent and turn to God, showing him you want to belong to him, trying to live according to his principles. God will have mercy on you and free you from the bondage of sin (doing harm), through Jesus.
