In the Christian traditions, faith comes by hearing.
Also, there is an interior person.
The interior person has ears.
It is with these ears we hear God’s voice of love.
From Origen’s book on the Song of Songs pp. 25-26
“The thing we want to demonstrate about these things is that the Divine Scriptures make use of homonyms; that is to say, they use identical terms for describing different things. And they even go so far as to call the members of the outer man by same names as the parts and dispositions of the inner man; and not only are the same terms employed, but the things themselves are compared with one another.”
II Corinthians 2: 14 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day (KJV).
Romans 7: 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: (KJV)
Ephesians 3: 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; (KJV)
Origen believes that the inner man was created in the image and likeness of God.
Genesis 1: 27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (KJV).
Origen believes that the outward man is explained in Genesis.
Genesis 2: 7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (JKV).
Origen believes that the inner man has ears, eyes, mouth, nose, womb, heart, and many other parts. He believes that the outer man’s parts are named from or after the inner man’s parts.
Our physical heart is named after our inner heart or spiritual heart. “Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
Our physical ears are named after our inner ears or spiritual ears. “Hear, O Israel.”
Our physical eyes are named after our inner eyes or spiritual eyes. “Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? “ (KJV)
Our physical thirst is named after our inner thirst. “Come to me all of you who are thirsty.” “Blessed (happy) are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.”
Again, from Origen’s book on the Song of Songs pp. 25-26
“The thing we want to demonstrate about these things is that the Divine Scriptures make use of homonyms; that is to say, they use identical terms for describing different things. And they even go so far as to call the members of the outer man by same names as the parts and dispositions of the inner man; and not only are the same terms employed, but the things themselves are compared with one another.”
