"Jesus said; blessed are all who hear the Word of God, and put it into practice!"
Have your parents or someone else told you, "do as I say, not as I do"? Many parents or authority figures fail to set a good example and practice what they preach. Why should they expect their children or followers to be an different than them? Did your parents live as believer's should, and show you the Way and the Truth? Anyone in authority has a duty to lead by example. If you want others to follow you and do the right thing, then it is a given that you must PUT THE WORD INTO PRACTICE! That is how you will be blessed by the Lord. In our One Truth Today, Jesus is explaining that is not enough to just hear the Word of God. If you want to receive the blessings of God then you have to PUT THE WORD INTO PRACTICE. Hearing with out acting on and practicing the Word is not obeying and there is no blessing!
If you want to be blessed and happy in your life here on earth you must put what God has taught you into practice here and now. You must obey God and His Word, it is not sufficient to read or hear the Word, unless you PUT THE WORD INTO PRACTICE! We must be doers of the Word and not just hearers! Even if your parents or others in authority over you do not live up to the expectations of the Lord, GOD is your Father and He expects you to practice His Word! It is no excuse for you what others have done in your life. They where rewarded in proportion to their use and practice of the Word, and so will you be. Listen, learn and then PUT THE WORD INTO PRACTICE.
If you put the Word into practice, you will love your enemies. You must give to those who ask you. You must be certain that Jesus Christ is first in everything that you do. You must in fact practice what you preach to others. We are to learn the Word and the Commandments of the Lord and then put them into action. We must live by the Truth and the Light of the Lord God.
If we want to be blessed in this life and in the life to come we have to hear, learn, and then put into practice the teachings of Jesus Christ the Lord God. We have to do as we are told, but by the God who always practices what He preaches. People have failed you, but God will never leave you, or fail you, ever! Hear and obey the Word of God. PUT THE WORD INTO PRACTICE!
