In James 1:19-25 the author presents a dual emphasis on receiving the Word of God and practicing it. As Christians, James is encouraging you to not just listen or hear what the Word of God says, but actually grow in your faith through practicing it. And as you do you will continue to remember who you are in Christ.

Investing In Eternity

In light of James' exhortation to submit to God, drawing near to God, and humbling ourselves before God and submitting to His will we find ourselves face to face with our own hearts. In this text, James is going to challenge every believer to take a look at their hearts by looking at where our money goes. In the end, God desires that we use our resources to invest in eternity.
Here Today, Gone Today

We believe that tomorrow is promised. In fact we say the famous phrase, "Here today and gone tomorrow." But the Bible says that our life is a vapor. The saying should rather be, "Here today and gone today." In this passage, James instructs believers to take each day and decisions and submit it to the will of God. As we do that we experience the heart of God is our daily lives.
