But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

Jesus speaking:
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”

This life we live is not easy. It is far from perfect. But God. His Word is truth to live by. His word of truth protects, guides, strengthens, encourages, and opens our eyes to Him. Our Protector, Provider, Guide, Friend, Support, Love, and the list goes on . . . gave us His word to know Him and live out His Word in our lives. As in any relationship, time spent getting to know one another is essential. Without God’s word in our heart, on our mind, and living out the word of God we will not be justified.
🌹 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
