Our Responsibility

   This week we read about the Origin of the word, those who conveyed the word, and what believers are to do with the word. Today, in our conclusion: four more verses urging us to consume the word, and do something with it. 

   How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. - Psalm 119:9

   I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.         - Psalm 119:11 

   Do everything...blameless and pure, children of God...in a crooked and depraved generation...as you hold out the word of life... - Philippians 2:14-16

   Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22

Commentary: Jesus and the apostles emphasized that the world is unbelieving and perverse. People of the world hold wrong views, have warped values, follow immoral ways of life and reject the norms of God's Word. God's children must separate themselves from the world and be blameless, pure and without fault in order to proclaim Christ's glorious redemption to the lost world.
