2. OUR LIFESTYLE – HOW WE LIVE OUT WHAT WE BELIEVE. 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what itsays. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. James 1:22-25 Just what we believe is not enough! Just knowing or hearing what we believe is not enough! We must ! We must do it! God blesses the person who hears and does the word of God! God blesses the church who hears and does the word of God!
