James 1:22-25
If we are going to benefit from God’s Word and be faithful and fruitful Christians, we must be doers of God’s Word.
- We must not deceive ourselves by thinking that since we have heard God’s Word that we are actually benefiting from God’s Word.
“Unused truth becomes as useless as an unused muscle.” A.W. Tozer
- We must not forget God’s Word but instead work hard at remembering it.
“To remember God, his acts and his teachings, is to contemplate them in such a way that they make a lasting impression on the heart and mind. The person who ‘forgets’ what he has seen in God’s word is one who reads or listens superficially, not imprinting the message on the soul.”— Douglas Moo
- We must act upon the Word by being doers of Word.
