Practicing The Word by Marioplus(m): 3:50pm On Oct 22, 2017 |
18 He chose to give us birth through the WORD of truth, that we might be a kind of first-fruits of all he created. 19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 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 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 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. 26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. {James 1:18-27} The theme of this passage centers on God's living Word: Being born through the Word (1:18) Preferring the Word to moral filth (1:19-21) Letting the Word save us (1:21) Listening to and practicing the Word (1:22-25) Experiencing the freedom of the Word (1:25) Living out the Word's teaching in practical ways (1:26-27) May the Holy Spirit fill us with the sincerity of allowing these fruits of His Grace to manifest every second in our lives in Jesus Name. Amen. |
