When Talk Starts To Walk

Faith isn’t proven by what you hear—it’s shown by what you do. In part three of Grit & Grace, you’ll discover what it looks like to move from only listening to experiencing a transformation from the inside out as you allow God’s Word to influence your actions.

VERSES // James 1v18-27; Jeremiah 31v31-33; Ezekiel 36v24-27; Matthew 7v21; 1 John 2v4

NOTES:

Three Christian responses to God’s Word:

LISTEN HUMBLY

Hurry up and listen → Keep listening → Let your defenses down

The goal is not to get around God’s Word; the goal is to receive it.

LOOK CONTINUALLY

What value do I place on God’s Word?

Allow God’s Word to saturate your life.

Listening to God’s Word - Applying God’s Word = Worthless Religion

Hearing followed by not doing leads to a deceived heart and a worthless faith.

LIVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY

I don’t obey to earn my way to heaven; I obey because Heaven is in my heart.

Read your Bible, do what it says.

Prayer: God what area of my life have you been telling me to obey, to do this and I’ve not done it?

Application Step: Write out specific action steps for how you’re going to obey starting today.
