Why Be A Doer And Not Just A Hearer Of The Word Of God

 

Are you a true Christian? A true Christian is known by his or her fruits, i.e., the behavior that the person exhibits. Every child of God is known by his thoughts, words, and especially his actions. So, you're expected to be a doer and not just a hearer of God's words. This post gives the reasons why you should be a doer of God's word.

 

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves - James 1:22 (NKJV).

 

Therefore by their fruits you will know them - Matthew 7:20 (NKJV).

Introduction

It's one thing to hear the word of God and another thing do it. However, it's in the doing that you benefit from the word. And a person who only hears deceives himself or herself. Again, anyone who is not a doer of the word of God is not yet a believer in Christ. For you can't believe and not do the words of the Lord.

Why Be A Doer And Not Just A Hearer?

1. Shows that you believe the word of God

You will know that you believe the word if you obey it. This is because when you don't believe it's difficult to act on what you have heard. On the other hand, if you believe, you will not find it difficult to do the word of God.

2. Grow to eat meat

Milk is the food for babes, while the meat is for those who are matured. And you only graduate to meat as you use the word of God. That is, doing the instructions of the Lord helps you to grow into eating meat. This is because as you act on God's word and see the results, your faith increases to act on more of the word.

 

For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil - Hebrews 5:13-14 (NKJV).

Challenges In Marriage With Unbelieving Spouse

How can I overcome the storms of life in marriage when my spouse is not in agreement with me? If this is your question, relax because this article will answer it for you. Truly, if you and your spouse are in agreement, it is easier to overcome challenges than when you are doing so alone. But God is aware of this situation and has a solution already for you.

 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:31-32, KJV)

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly – (Psalm 84:11, NKJV)

You can secure God’s in intervention in your marriage even when your unbelieving spouse is not in agreement with you. One with God is more than a multitude. All things are possible with God. Be in agreement with God and the Prince of peace will calm the storms of life in marriage.

Surly being in the same camp with your spouse is an added advantage when combating a challenge. But while, God is working on your spouse to convert him or her, you can still overcome all challenges. Those mountains are surmountable. God for your sake will always intervene. Read more...

Gods Love- A Must Have Weapon Against The Storm Of Life That Delivers Peace Of Mind

In this world we will have challenges, storms of life. Situations around us will perturb us; sometimes discouragement or depression may set in throwing us off course. At such times, Gods love gives us the strength to go through it and emerge victorious. An understanding of the love of God for you gives you the assurance that God will give you victory again.

Our God is ever ready to shower His love for us but many times we do not let Him. We usually allow the storms of life to so overwhelm us that we find it difficult to look unto God for help; sometimes we even do not remember God at that period. We would rather cry, wale, run here and there than seek for the help of our God in heaven. God Jesus is bigger than all our problems and He is more than able to solve the problems for us.

Furthermore, guilt hinders people from receiving Gods love for them. They find it strange to believe that God can come to their rescue even when they have done wrong. Gods love is different from the world’s kind of love. It is true that God hates sin but he loves sinners. The love of God will deliver first and afterwards show you how not to commit the wrong again.

Gods love gives us peace of mind when we acknowledge that He loves us and that if He could sacrifice His only son for us then there is nothing He would not give us. When we focus on Jesus and not the problem, He being the Prince of Peace will flood peace into our minds. We would be calm enough to receive instructions on how to overcome the challenge before us. Jesus does have the answer to every challenge.

Are you in need of peace of mind? Believe and receive Gods love for you. Jesus who knows the end from the beginning will cause that situation to turn around for your good. Our God will cause you to smile and laugh again. Victory is sure when Jesus is in charge. He has never failed and He will never fail.
