“Do not merely listen to the word
and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
Listening to and reading the Bible –while
a good practice—does nothing if you do not apply its teachings to your life. It
can be so easy for us to think that just because we are going through the
motions of Christianity we are obeying God to the fullest extent, but true obedience
is following God’s commands. If we are reading the Bible but not doing what it
says, the act of reading the Bible is useless to us. Doing so only deceives us
into thinking we are following Christ. In order to truly learn what the Bible
teaches, we must obey its commands.
