Do the Word

James 1:22 "But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

When the world is not doing the word of God that is no big suprise and why should they when Jesus has not transformed their lives. But when those who claim they are born again, blood bought Christians fail to obey and do the Word of God we are in serious trouble. Guess what we are in big trouble! Notice I said above claim they are Christians. This is where the problem lies in my opinion. There are many folks today in church and out that claim they are Christians. If one's life has not been transformed by accepting Christ and there is very little effort to do the Word of God I believe it is clear that they have never received Jesus as Lord and Savior. Look at what the above verse says if we hear only and do not do we are deceiving ourselves!!! I am amazed at how many folks will argue Bible points but have never read the entire Bible and they do not obey the teachings of Christ. Over 80% of the USA claim they are Christians....I believe the proof is in the pudding....does our nation live like the Word teaches??? Let's ask ourselves this morning are we doers or just hearers???

Thank you Jesus for your Word the Bible! Help us to do your Word not just talk about it and pretend we are yours!
