Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25

• Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do
what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
• But 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.” (NIV)
