James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves".
It is great to know the word of God. To be able to quote scripture and give others directions as to where to find what in the bible. But our greatest strength as children of God comes when we are doers of what God instructs in His word. we deceive our selves when we say one thing and do another. Remember God is not mocked.
The Apostle Paul tells us in the 2nd chapter of Romans that it is not the hearers of Gods law that are just before Him, but the doers who shall be justified. We as professed children of the Lord must let our lights so shine that those in darkness will know the way to the light. Jesus said we were chosen to bear fruit and fruit that will last, and this is done by doing not saying. Lazarus never spoke a word in the bible, but the word says that many wanted to kill him because his life lead other to believe in Jesus ( John 12:10-11).
When our witness goes further than just simple lip service we can lead others to Christ. Remember we live in a seeing is believing world, and if they don't believe what you say at lest they might believe the miracle which they see. You and your new life in Christ......
