God's Word - Just Do It

1.  Be a Doer of God’s Word

Consider the Word

• Learn to Abide
  "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”   John 8:31–32
• Belief is one thing & conduct is another

Connect with the Word

• Look at your reflection from God’s standpoint
• Not our standards but God’s standards
• Conform to God’s image
  “…be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” Romans 8:29

Continue in the Word

• See it through to completion – keep on doing

2.  Be a Keeper of Your Tongue

• A true Christian controls his/her words
  "Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:3

• A true Christian does not boast
  "… yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities ”   2 Corinthians 12:5

• A true Christian is always learning
  When your green your grow - when your ripe you rot

3.  Be a Worker for the Lord

• Practice personal piety
  “… whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? "My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. ” 1 John 3:16–18

• Practice personal purity
  "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ” 1 John 2:15
