Do What It Says

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceiveyourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not dowhat it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after lookingat himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the manwho looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to dothis, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in whathe does” (James 1:22-25).

Do what it says.
