James: book of Godly wisdom - part 15
JAMES 1:21
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
The Word of God cuts to the chase and wastes little time getting at the heart of the matter - James says we need to put away evilness from our lives - from our speech and not even have the look of evil in our lives -as Christ followers we have no business sinning at all - it should no longer be with our new nature - sure the old is still with us - the flesh -the sinful part that will one day die-but again we don't have to sin just to sin - we can live lives of purity if we so choose to live in Christ! The Word of God is able to save our souls - not that the Word died for us - or that God sent HIS WORD but that HE send JESUS CHRIST and the WORD reveals just who HE is - many won't read the bible because of the conviction that comes from it - the truth is revealed - some want only the parts they agree with - we must take the whole WORD of GOD at face value - its able to save our souls but showing us our need for JESUS - our need for Salvation -the world around us does not understand -they don't want to hear our message -and they don't want to believe in our Savior - but that does not mean they cannot be saved - I know there are many ministries that give our the WORD and leave the rest to the Holy Spirit- have you ever noticed we seem to have no problem reading magazines - or read the latest novel - but when it comes to God's Word - the enemy stops us - he does not want us to know the WORD because if we don't - we are without any weapons to fight! Ive heard it said that if you only know John 3:16 and nothing else- that's good -but if you know more than that - you can fight the battle with the sword of truth!
Lets make sure we are living in the Word - I have to admit its been tough lately to read the Word -but its our lifesource -it shows us who JESUS our LORD Is - lets read the word -trust the word and believe the Word!
a side note: Have you read the WORD lately?
in CHRIST THE WORD IS ALIVE!
