Good morning 🌄

This morning’s Scripture is… 📖

Luke 11:28

“But Jesus said, ‘No, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.’”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
What does it mean to “hear”? 🤔❓️
…
Romans 10:17
…
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word about Christ.”
…
To be saved, we must hear God’s word❗️
…
For our faith to grow, we must hear God’s word.
…
God’s word is what makes our lives truly blessed❗️
…
To overcome the devil, we must obey God’s word. When we submit to God, the devil flees.
…
So a blessed person is someone who hears God’s word and follows it❗️
…
James 1:22
…
“Be people who put the word into practice. Do not deceive yourselves by merely listening.”
…
😨 Those words can be hard to hear…
But they are true❗️
…
Rather than being Christians in name only,
may we put God’s word into practice.
In the name of the Lord Jesus,
I bless each of you.

Shalom 😃
