Summary

“When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.”
Elisabeth Elliot
Missionary and speaker

Today has been about taking action in response to God’s Word. The biblical author James says it well:

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”

 

Let’s not miss out on the blessing of obeying God’s Word. 

 

Next Time

We will finish our series by considering what it takes to keep growing as Christians for the long haul.

Take some time now to reflect on what you’ve learnt today and discuss your game plan for this week with your partner.

  • In light of today’s conversation, is there anything you sense God asking you to act on?
  • How could we support each other to do that? 

 

Pray together for these things.
