(Nuggets from 1 John 2:5)
We often say (or hear) that we want to know God’s will for our lives.
But how often do we think about doing God’s will? Is knowing the same as doing?
We’d be deceiving ourselves if we thought so. There’s a bridge that needs to be crossed between these two points and it’s called: obedience.
God’s will is not hidden from us. His perfect law is revealed in the Scriptures that millions of people own today and can access from around the globe. He speaks to us and urges us to heed this law. But how often do we walk away from it, satisfied with the new insights we’ve gleaned from our study of the Bible, but fail to make any tangible changes to our lives?
The Word of God acts like a mirror to our true selves. It reflects what we look like from the inside. It reveals to us the true condition of our hearts, and tells us what we need to do to realign it to God’s heart. It doesn't matter how much we’ve heard or understood; what matters is that we obey what we’ve heard.
God expects you as a person to be someone who not only listens to and understands His word, but also lives it out, always seeing your spiritual imperfections in the light of God’s word, and as a result, taking actual practical steps to obey God’s word. Always actively listening to and doing God's word continuously, and in doing so, you shall be blessed.
Apostle James says that we are to be doers of the word and not hearers only. It is in doing God's word that His Love becomes perfected in you as a person, as a living proof that you are TRULY IN HIM.
EXAMINE YOUR LIFE AND ACT ON THE TRUTHS YOU HEAR; LIVE IT OUT PRACTICALLY.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
