Are You a Hearer Only, or A Doer?

As we learn about God it is expected that we put that which we have learned into action. In our everyday lives lets practice being a doer of God’s word not a hearer only (James 1:22-25). Living by faith in God’s words and His teachings causes us to live above the evil in this world (John 17:15). God will protect us from the evil one as we position ourselves in God’s kingdom properly. Being a doer of God’s word puts us in His protective care. Easier for Him to do that when we’re living a lifestyle more conducive to His will, which is His word. Paul is speaking to the Philippians about practicing that which he’s been teaching them, and he said, the peace of God will be with you if you practice these principles for victorious living. It will always be a matter of how you’re living which will determine God’s assistance in our lives. If a person is blowing up a lifestyle of sinful behavior, it won’t be as easy for God to get to you, and help. Mentally assenting to God’s word is useless, but a doer of God’s word rules the world around him.
