- Be slow to speak – “I will not make excuses.”
- Be slow to anger: “I will not justify my disobedience.”
2. Receive the Word Humbly (vs. 21)
- Receiving the Word requires putting our sin away.
- Receiving the Word involves accepting it with meekness and realizing its ability to save our soul.
3. Obey the Word Persistently (vs. 22-25)
- A Hearer and a Doer start out the same way but end up in two different places.
- A Doer of the Word has a heart that has been changed by the Word
