It is not enough that we attend Church service and know the Word of God made flesh, Jesus Christ. We are to be doers of His Word. We were brought into this world for a purpose…to be the hands and feet of the Body of Christ.
We were created for good things. Out of our gratitude and love for Him, as His adopted sons and daughters, we share His love and concern with others. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to save them. He wants no one to perish.
We are the keepers of His commandment to love Him above ALL and to love and care for others as we do ourselves.
It is easy to allow traditional practices to take the place of the authority of the Scriptures. Jesus offers His blessing to those who respond concretely to God’s will.
Luke 11:28
28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
18 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Isaiah 48:18
21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
Luke 8:21
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 1:25
21 “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.
Matthew 7:21
