JIM WALL



Good Morning!



In James Chapter 1, we read that anyone who hears God's word, but does not obey is kidding himself.  He is like someone who looks at himself in a mirror, but goes away unchanged.  He reads and hears God's word, but then dismisses it.



The person who looks into the mirror of God's word, longing to be transformed by it, is not a forgetful hearer.  That person progressively becomes more like Jesus.  James said that kind of person will be blessed in what he does.



If we honestly want to become more like Christ in our attitudes, actions, and reactions, we must look deeply into God's word regularly.  But let's not kid ourselves, just looking is not enough.  God's word will transform us, but only if we obey it.
