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.
Thank you for preaching His Word this morning! I learned a lot more. Thank you for sharing this with us.
