Bible Verse of The Day – 3-26-20

Romans 2:13 (NKJV) 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified…

We can’t just hear God’s word, believe it and be done. But rather, believe and then take action.

We have to continue to move in it. It becomes our life and breath.

When we take action, and we are doers of the law (His word), we will be justified, meaning we are made righteous in the sight of God.

James 1:25 (NKJV) 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

When we remember the things God says to do through His word, and we apply it and keep walking it out every day, we are blessed…Hallelujah!

God’s word is the perfect law of liberty.

What does liberty mean? It is the state of being free.

If we don’t put to action His law, His very words, we are deceiving ourselves.

James 1:22 (NKJV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Don’t stop at just hearing His word. But start to take action. Learn to live in it and walk it out. Let it be the breath that keeps us alive and moving forward. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-17-18

James 1:22 (NKJV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Knowing God’s word is a good thing to do. But doing God’s word is even better!

Many of us like to think that we know God’s word very well. Some can even quote chapter and verse for hundreds of different scriptures. And this is very good.

But God wants us to go beyond just knowing His word. He wants us to walk it out in our lives. If we fail to walk it out, it is just knowledge that does no one any good.

In fact, James said that if we hear the word but don’t put it into action, we are deceiving ourselves!

James also told us that if we have faith, we need to put action behind it and do something with it.

James 2:20 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

So, if God has told us to love others, then we need to be doing so. If He has told us to give of our finances, we need to be doing so. If He has told us to pray for others, we need to do so. If He has told us that we need to be His ambassadors, by living out His word in our lives, then we need to do so!

It’s time to put action behind His word and show the world who God is by more than just telling others. We need to live it out right before their eyes.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-14-16

James 1:22 (NKJV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

The Word. It’s our owners manual for life here on earth, as followers of Christ.

It’s God’s words, spoken to us. It feeds us. It sustains us. It directs us. It guides us in day-to-day life. And it lays the foundation for our faith.

And so, as believers, we are told to be “doers of the word, and not only hearers”.

As James penned those words by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he was actually referring to what he had written in verse 21, which said this:

James 1:21 (NKJV) 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

So he was addressing sin and wickedness in human beings, admonishing believers to lay those things aside and follow God’s direction for their lives.

And as we do that, we should also be doers of the word in other ways too.

One critical area where we should be doers of the word is when it comes to loving others.

Jesus told us to love one another. And He didn’t tell us that it’s optional. He didn’t suggest it. He didn’t ask us to do it. He told us to do it. It was a command.

Showing others the love of God shows them who God is. It shows them that what we say is genuine, and that our words mean something. And by this, we show them that God isn’t just some far-away entity who doesn’t care about us. He can be trusted and He loves them.

So as we walk this earth and tell people things, we also need to make sure that we do things as well. Because by doing and not just speaking empty words, we prove that our faith is genuine, pointing them to God and showing them that they can trust Him, as well.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-16

James 1:22 (NKJV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

If we just listen and never do anything with what we hear or learn, what good will come from it? Applying it is how we get results and see changes come; Good changes!

As we read God’s word, this is Him sharing His heart with us. The conviction we feel at times, even though it can hurt or make us squirm, is Him trying to help us. He’s showing us where we may need to change things up a bit. He is not condemning us for what we’ve done or not done, but simply showing us the truth of the matter and how to fix it.

It’s up to us to listen and then do it, not listen and then say, “well, I’m still a baby Christian, I need some more time for that one”.

We all have things within ourselves we need to be tending to and changing. And not one of us is better at doing it than the other. We all have to work hard and It takes constant effort for sure.

Let’s focus today on the things we know we need to be doing. And in the meantime, keep loving each other, because we are all working toward trying to get it right. Amen.
