How to Respond to God's Word
Preacher: Stephen Conley Series: Stand Alone Topic: God's Word Scripture: James 1:19–25
Text: James 1:19-25
Listen to the Word Openly (vs. 19-20)
- Be quick to hear – “I am eager to listen.”
- Be slow to speak – “I will not make excuses.”
- Be slow to anger: “I will not justify my disobedience.”
Receive the Word Humbly (vs. 21)
- Receiving the Word requires putting our sin away.
- Receiving the Word involves accepting it as salvation for our souls.
Obey the Word Intently (vs. 22-25)
- A forgetful hearer has been informed by the Word, but not transformed by the Word.
- A faithful doer has been transformed by the Word to freely live out his identity in Christ.
- Josiah & Jehoiakim: A Lesson in Responding to God’s Word (2 Kings 22:8-12; Jeremiah 36:1-3, 20-24)
