One With Him

Doer James 1: 21-22 - Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is to save your soul. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. These verses are really something that challenges me because it tells you to be a doer of the word and not just a hearer. Why? Because honestly what’s the point of hearing it if we are not going to do it. That’s like going work and your boss tells you something and you completely reject and do the opposite. It’s like actively disobeying God which in turns causes him to have to judge us more severely. Because we knew better but chose to follow our flesh.   James was warning us to walk in holiness so that we can have everlasting life. It is the only acceptable response to the word of God. We must strip away the worldly clothes and allow God to cloth us in the new sanctification process. I want to walk through this world shining in obedience for Christ.

He is a Holy Being who keeps his word and because He is holy, he cannot go back on his word. He promises to be faithful to us till the end, and he will never leave nor forsake us.  Did you know that there are 3573 promises in the Bible? And God will fulfill all of them if we just let him. A promise is a promise. That means to God, it is a covenant that can’t be broke. But, not all of them are sunshine and rainbows. There are a lot of terrifying
