Be Doers of the Word

The experience of the new birth (James 1:18) should lead to an expression of new life (James 1:19-27). James challenges us to respond rightly to God's Word of Truth.

1. We are to have a submissive posture toward the Word (v. 19-20).
2. We are to have a receptive heart toward the Word (v. 21).
3. We are to have an obedient life in the Word (v. 22-25).

Its not enough to merely hear the Word. Its not enough to merely study God's Word. All our exposure to God's Word must be accompanied by obedience to God's Word.
