Bible Verse of The Day – 7-17-18

James 1:22 (NKJV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Knowing God’s word is a good thing to do. But doing God’s word is even better!

Many of us like to think that we know God’s word very well. Some can even quote chapter and verse for hundreds of different scriptures. And this is very good.

But God wants us to go beyond just knowing His word. He wants us to walk it out in our lives. If we fail to walk it out, it is just knowledge that does no one any good.

In fact, James said that if we hear the word but don’t put it into action, we are deceiving ourselves!

James also told us that if we have faith, we need to put action behind it and do something with it.

James 2:20 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

So, if God has told us to love others, then we need to be doing so. If He has told us to give of our finances, we need to be doing so. If He has told us to pray for others, we need to do so. If He has told us that we need to be His ambassadors, by living out His word in our lives, then we need to do so!

It’s time to put action behind His word and show the world who God is by more than just telling others. We need to live it out right before their eyes.
