James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.
Do what it says.
James 1:22 changed my life. The first time I remember seeing it was when it popped up as a daily scripture widget I had installed on my computer. I think I had been saved about a month when that happened. I read that verse and it smashed me. The Holy Spirit was all over it, and it has continued to minister to me ever since then.
That verse talks about hearing, deception, and application. That is the road to a powerful Christian life.
This concept has been jumping out at me so much lately in so many different verses. I’m going to use this page as a place to list all of the different places I find this concept in the Bible. Feel free to post ones that I haven’t found yet.
