Be a doer not a hearer!

"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the Word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." James 1:19-22

There's a lot of Christians out there that keep their Religious laws and go to church, but are hearers of the Word and not doers. Don't deceive yourself, don't be a hearer of the Word who just hearers the Words of God and then goes about their own business, but be a doer. Be someone who does something for Christ, Christ bought us when He died for our sins, so we're supposed to be slaves to Him. We ought to pour our lives out for the one who gave His life for us. Like it says in James 2:17 "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." Our faith by itself isn't going to get us any closer to God, we must put works behind our faith otherwise our faith is no good. When i mean no good i mean that God isn't going to be saying to you "well done my good and faithful servant." Do you know why?... Because you were not a servant at all!! You sat comfortably in this world and said to yourself "I'm going to heaven because I believe in God." Yeah Right! I don't think so! If you can sit comfortably in this world and not be persecuted in some kind of way then most likely your not saved, because in 2 Timothy 3:12 it says "Indeed, all who desire to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" There you go, right from the Word of God, if you're a true believer and live like a true believer then you will be persecuted for your faith in God. A true sold out Christian is to be looked on by the world as a fool, because if the world does not look at you as a fool then you look like the world and are not serving Christ. You can only serve one master which will it be, the world which will pass away or God Himself the Creator of Heaven and earth, the One who sent His Son for our sins, and the One who is coming back as a judge, to judge the sins of all mankind. The choice is yours! Don't play with your soul!
To God be the Glory!
