In this country, Bibles are everywhere.
You can find them in bookstores, hospitals, hotel rooms,
everywhere.
They're available in all sizes, shapes, translations, versions, leather bound, hardback,
paperback. Every year the Bible out sells every other major bestseller.
Only 20 years ago (1985) there were
500 million Bibles published in the world in 18,000 different languages.
Yet millions of people still miss the
blessing of the Bible.
Why? Because it's not automatic.
The Bible is a book of blessing.
It promises comfort, strength, hope,
wisdom, joy, power, and purpose.
But just because you have a Bible doesn't mean you're going to get
the benefit from it.
James, being his practical self, gives us three steps on how to be blessed by the
Bible.
v. 25 is the key verse, /"The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and/
/continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard but doing it, he will be blessed in what he/
/does." /The Bible is called the perfect law because it's exactly what I need.
It promises freedom and it
promises blessing.
James gives us three steps:
*1.
I MUST RECEIVE GOD'S WORD IF I'M GOING TO BE BLESSED BY IT*
vs.
21, /"Accept the word planted in you.”
/I have to accept it.
This word in Greek is a
hospitality term which literally means "to welcome".
If we're going to be blessed by the
word of God, first we must welcome the word into our lives.
We must be receptive.
James gives an illustration.
He says it's planted in you.
He gives the illustration of a garden and seed.
The Bible, all through Scripture, compares itself to seed.
Jesus told the parable of the sower and said,
“The word of God is a seed and it's planted in our hearts.”
How is it you can take two seeds that are
exactly the same and plant them in two different locations and get two different crops in fruitfulness?
One soil is prepared and the other is not.
How is it that you can take two people and put them in the
same service, with the same message, and one person gets blessed by it and the other person says he
didn't get anything out of it.
One heart was prepared and one wasn't.
James says we must receive the
word of God with the right attitude.
But before you can plant the seed you need to do a little weeding.
There are things says James that blocks your
