Two points
James the half brother of Jesus writes,
“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:23-25
There are two points in this portion of scripture that I think are important for all who consider themselves followers of Jesus Christ.
1/ Anyone who listens to the word of God and does not do what it says is essentially a non-believer. They haven’t let the word of God change them. They’ve forgotten what Jesus called them to do.
2/ If on the other hand a man hears the word of God and continues in it he will be blessed in all he does. The ultimate blessing being seeing souls saved and going to heaven to be with God.
Where do you stand?
Please think about it.
