Do What God's Word Says

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. — James 1:22

God asks us to not only listen to Scripture, but also to obey it.

He loves us and wants what is best for us.

We are His children, and he cares for us.

If we just listen to His Word and don't obey it, we are just pretending to follow God.

We are treating Him as if we don't really buy or believe what He tells us.

Obeying is not always easy; in fact, it can be very hard.

God can help me obey His Word when I stay in touch with him and ask Him to guide me.
