Receiving God's Word (5 of 14)
Series: James
Robert Dawson
James 1:19-27
Communication is key to a healthy marriage. Communication is key to a healthy relationship. The real key to effective communication is not the ability to speak but the ability to listen.
Communication is not only key in our human relationships it is also key to our relationship with God.
Our spiritual growth and maturity depends on how well we communicate with Him. The key to successful communication with God is not in knowing how to voice praise and petitions but to position ourselves so that we can hear and listen to His voice - the Word of Truth.
- Word of truth plays an important role in this passage. It is intended to play an important role in our lives as well.
- James 1.18 - We are saved - given new birth by the will of God and by the Word of truth. Romans 10.17 - Faith comes by hearing by hearing the word of God.
- In the verses we are going to read this morning we are told to receive the Word of Truth which is able to save us. We will be called to look intently at the perfect law.
- As we read these verses you find they are not speaking to a past moment in salvation where we were saved, born again but to a present moment of salvation where what has been worked in by the will of God and Word of Truth is now worked out in our daily lives.
- Remember there are 3 tenses to our salvation as believers.
- Past tense - Saved - there was something that happened. There was a moment when we were made new in Jesus Christ.
- Present tense - Being Saved - this is where the practical aspects of the salvation that was given - implanted in us in the past - begins to be worked out practically in our everyday lives.
- Future tense - Will be Saved - this looks forward to the day when God takes us home to be with Him or comes back to get us - it is the day when God finishes what He began in us.
