If all we do is hear the word of God but don't practice it we are not different from the unbelievers. The truth is that it would have been better if we did not hear it in the first place rather than hearing it but disregarding it. The only reason why God will make His word available to us is so that we can implement it.
The Word of God in most cases comes with instructions and if we neglect it it means we have displayed an act of disobedience. It is one thing to hear the Word of God but another thing to do that which is contained in His Word.
James 1:22 - But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
We cannot outsmart God. If we commit to doing the Word of God He knows, and if we don't He also knows. When we do God's Word we have achieved the purpose for which He made His Word available to us.
James 1:25 - But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
The good thing about doing God's Word is that we don't just obey Him, we also attract blessings to ourselves by doing so. What this tells us is that we are not at loss when obeying the Word of God. We stand to gain His blessings by being doers of His Word.
When we hear the word of God, we should be doers of the commandments.
