“But be doers of the word, and nor hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22
This scripture underscores the harrowing reality that permeates the life of many who profess to be Christians.
The blessing of being a Christ follower comes not only from hearing God’s word, but obeying it.
James continues, “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away, and at once forgets what he was like.
But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and perseveres - being not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who acts - he will be blessed in his doing.” James 1:23-25
