James 1:22- Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Hearing plus doing! The two goes hand in hand. One can not function properly without the other.

When we go to church services and hear the word of God, or when you come to this blog site and hear the word of God, it should motivate you to not only enjoy what you heard, (Gospel truth) but also motivate you to believe what you heard to the point of action upon that which the word of God spoke to us in the ear of our hearts.

The call in this text is to every believer to not only be hearers of the word of God, but also doers of what it is telling you to do.

When we put the word of God to action in our lives, our hearts and minds are transformed into the likeness of Christ, and we begin to bear much fruit for God’s Kingdom.

Hearers and doers will forever reap the promise of God’s everlasting presence with them, regardless of what life may throw at us. God’s promise is to never leave or forsake us, but to be with us always, even unto the end.

“The one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. (Jas. 1:24-25)

When we learn to become “hearers and doers” of the word of God, we begin, and continues to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as we walk in maturity of the faith in spirit and in truth, which is turn causes us to bring forth good works of righteousness, which God not only planned for us before time, but is also pleasing in His sight .

When we hear the word of God and do not apply it, we are only deceiving ourselves!

Be not only hearers of the Word of God, but also doers of what it says to us!

Remember, Hearing plus going goes hand in hand!

Speak to our hearts Lord!

God bless.
