HOW TO BE BLESSED BY THE BIBLE
Developing a Faith That Works - Part 5 of 15
James 1:19-27
Rick Warren
In America, Bibles are everywhere.
You can find them in grocery stores, bookstores, motel rooms,
everywhere.
They're available in all sizes, shapes, translations, versions, leather bound, paperback.
Every year the Bible out sells every other major bestseller.
Last year there were 500 million Bibles
published in the world in 18,000 different languages.
In America we are glutted with the word of God
on the airways, radio, TV, books, magazines.
It's everywhere.
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."
Circle the word "accept".
This word in Greek is a
hospitality term which literally means "to welcome" -- come on in.
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
