dont be foolish
interesting analogy
anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
in james 1:19-27 this analogy is given which is quite vivid. i mean – what do you do when you look in a mirror? to look and check if there is anything to fix up. (unless of course you’re just checking yourself out)
but similarly, are we reading the bible and listening to sermons without going to apply it in our lives? what good is the word, if we just hear and not do? more so, whats the point of reading if it’s not going to affect your life?
so dont be foolish, like the man who looks at a mirror and does nothing, instead take what you learn and put it into practice.
