“The king’s favor is toward a wise servant, But his wrath is against him who causes shame” (Proverbs 14.35)
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves.James 1.22
(for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
Romans 2.13
“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?
“Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:”
“He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.”
Build on the Rock
“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”
Luke 6.46
“‘Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
I Never Knew You
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Matthew 7.21
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
“For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.”
“But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
Doers—Not Hearers Only
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
James 1.22-25
Dear God,
Please help me to be a doer of the word, and not a hearer only
In Jesus’ name Amen
Doers—Not Hearers Only
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
James 1.22, 25
