Bible Reading: James 1:22-25, Luke 6:46-48, 2 Cor. 3: 18
Memory Verse: But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your
faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. James 2:18
Often, we say “the Word works”. Yes, it does. But, in reality, the Word works when you
“work” it. It never works by itself. God gave us His Word to live by. That means you can
believe the Word, you can love it, sing and jump about it, but until you act on the
message, it will be to you of no effect. You have got to do the Word; that is where the
blessing is. “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his
deed” James 1:25
How do you do or work the Word? Romans 10:10 gives us an idea; it says, “For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.” The word “confession” doesn’t mean telling somebody the wrong things that
you did. That word is the Greek “homologeo” which means speaking the same thing in
consent, ‘saying the same thing in agreement’ with God.
For example, the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “…if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature,” you affirm in agreement, “I am a new creature.” If you say, “I don’t know if I’m
a new creation,” you invalidate that reality, and it won’t work in your life. You do not
have to “feel” that you are a new creation; the Word says you are; therefore, you believe
and affirm the same thing. When you make the confession with your mouth, it catapults
you to the reality of its message. So, always make your confessions on the basis of the
Word.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 5 – 7
