Listening is fine, and it is good to listen, but after we listen, we must get up and do what we were told. The Word of God is alive, it is powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, and it is God's truth for us to live out our everyday life (Heb. 4:12). Many can listen to the Word, but what they do with the Word is how the Word is activated in their lives.
Therefore, we can listen to the Word without doing it, deceive ourselves, or fool ourselves and then say that the Bible doesn't work and is not true. That's a lie, if we do not work the Word, the Word does not work, so we must do the Word in order for the Word to work. James is saying here, stop fooling yourself, stop lying to yourself, and stop making up excuses. If you work the Word, it will work for you. We refuse to study, and then when the time comes for us to demonstrate the Word and live out the Word, we have no Word because we refuse to do what the Word says to do.
Family, let us become doers of the Word and not hearers only so that we can enjoy the promises and blessings of almighty God.
Do not Deceive Yourself, Do What the Word of God says, and become a Doer of the Word.
