DO THE WORD

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note ofthis: Everyone should be quick to listen,slow to speak and slow to becomeangry, 20 because human anger does notproduce the righteousness that God desires.21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and theevil that is so prevalent and humbly acceptthe word planted in you, which can saveyou.

JAMES 1:19-27

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and sodeceive yourselves. Do what itsays. 23 Anyone who listens to the word butdoes not do what it says is like someonewho looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, afterlooking at himself, goes away andimmediately forgets what he looks like.

JAMES 1:19-27

25 But whoever looks intently into theperfect law that gives freedom, andcontinues in it—not forgetting what theyhave heard, but doing it—they will beblessed in what they do. 26 Those whoconsider themselves religious and yet do notkeep a tight rein on their tongues deceivethemselves, and their religion is worthless.

JAMES 1:19-27

27 Religion that God our Father accepts aspure and faultless is this: to lookafter orphans and widows in their distressand to keep oneself from being polluted bythe world.

JAMES 1:19-27

This is the difference betweenChristianity and other falsereligions. It begins with the loveof God.

God loves you. He wants to giveyou two gifts. First, His love.Second, His Word.

God showed

us the plan

1 Then he showed me Joshua the highpriest standing before the angel ofthe Lord, and Satan standing at his rightside to accuse him. 2 The Lord said toSatan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan!The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem,rebuke you! Is not this man a burningstick snatched from the fire?”

ZECHARIAH 3:1-10

3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthyclothes as he stood before the angel.4 The angel said to those who werestanding before him, “Take off his filthyclothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, Ihave taken away your sin, and I will putfine garments on you.”

ZECHARIAH 3:1-10

5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban on hishead.” So they put a clean turban on hishead and clothed him, while the angelof the Lord stood by. 6 The angel ofthe Lord gave this charge toJoshua: 7 “This is what theLord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk inobedience to me and keep myrequirements, here.

ZECHARIAH 3:1-10

then you will govern my house andhave charge of my courts, and I will giveyou a place among these standing8 “‘Listen, High Priest Joshua, you andyour associates seated before you, whoare men symbolic of things to come: Iam going to bring my servant, theBranch. 9 See, the stone I have set infront of Joshua!

ZECHARIAH 3:1-10
