James 1:23-24 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man viewing his natural face in a mirror. 24 He views himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

The Apostle James says if you just hear and not obey, you are liken unto a person who views him or herself in a mirror and walks away forgetting what kind of person you are.

What's the purpose of a mirror? The purpose of a mirror is used to examine ourselves.

When we look at ourselves in the mirror of God's Word we not only see who we are with all our spots and flaws, but we also we see our desperate need for Christ and His transforming power in our lives.

What benefit do we receive in hearing the Word of God and never putting it into practice by obeying it?

God, through the leading of His Holy Spirit, wants to lead, guide and direct us into all truth and righteousness

There is no salvation apart form the Word of God. Faith apart from God is not faith in God.

Jesus said in John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Once we have received the knowledge of truth from God's Word, we are without excuse. Jesus Himself declares these words in John 15:22-If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.

God speaks and we MUST obey if our goal is to spend eternity with Him.

Where do you stand today concerning hearing and obeying the Word of God? Remember, hearing and doing goes hand in hand. God and His Word is one. We can not have one without the other.

Hearing and doing is the command today.

God bless.
