My Days with Christ Jesus

Day 201

"But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." -James 1:22

Many Christians walking in this world, are satisfied with just hearing the Word and has no intention to do the Word of God in their lives or maybe they are scared to do it. Don't you think we should fear God above all... more than anyone, or even satan? 

It's important for us to hear the Word of God because faith comes from hearing the Word but many stops there... they thought that's enough and that they are saved but they are only deceiving themselves... doing the Word of God is much more important. The faith that saves is a faith that has works... i say, we have to do God's Word not just read it rather do it... by constantly and sincerely doing the Word, you're actually living the Word of God and that is what He wants us to do. Live out our faith for the world to see, not so that they can see you but Jesus is seen in you.

"If you have a Bible, read it. If you read the Bible, believe it. If you believe the Bible, live it." (I got that from tumblr)

The works of the faith is an indication that our faith is genuine... faith is made perfect thru works without it, faith is dead. Dead faith can't save and at the same time an insult to God. How can you have a dead faith when you're serving a living God?! A living faith for a living God!

Do the Word of God, this is not a suggestion rather a command from God. This is something we ought to do and not take in lightly. It is considered as a disobedience if you fail to do so. 

Check your life! Where do you stand? Are we only hearers of the Word or are we doers of the Word?

To God be the glory!
