Put God’s Word Into Practice

James 1:19-27

 Main idea: Do Not Stop at Hearing God’s Word, Do it!

1. Practise God’s word in controlling our anger. (vv19 – 21)

• Quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.
• Receive God’s word with meekness.

2. Practise God’s word by not deceiving ourselves (vv22 – 25)

• Do not deceive ourselves.
• Persevere with actions.

3. Practise God’s word in a pure and undefiled way (vv26 – 27)

• Bridle our tongues.
• Visit orphan and widows.
• Keep ourselves unstained by the world.

Application:

1. Examine the way you relate to people. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to apply God’s word in this area of your life.
2. Is there a specific part of God’s word you find it hard to live out? Ask God to help you to persevere in doing it.
3. Ask God to soften our heart to practise His word on a regular basis.
