All Have Sinned

 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us ~ 1 John 1:8 (NIV)

Great Service...

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ~ James 1:22 (NIV)

Do What It Says...

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. ~ James 1:22-25 (NIV)

Do What It Says...

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ~ James 1:22 (NIV) 

Don't Just Listen

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ~ James 1:22 (NIV)

Do What It Says...

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

Learn & Live Scripture

13 Evil people and pretenders will go from bad to worse. They will fool others, and others will fool them.

14 But I want you to continue to follow what you have learned. Don’t give up what you are sure of. You know the people you learned it from. 15 You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus. (NIRV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (ESV)

~ 2 Timothy 3:13-15

Please, Stand Firm

10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. ~ Matthew 24:10-13 (NIV 1984)

Don't Be Deceived

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. ~ Ephesians 5:6 (NIV 1984)

Confess Sins

8 If we claim to be without sin,(Q) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.(R) 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins(S) and purify us from all unrighteousness.(T) 10 If we claim we have not sinned,(U) we make him out to be a liar(V) and his word has no place in our lives.(W) ~ 1 John 1:8-10 (NIV 1984)

Actions Speak Loudest

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 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. ~ James 1:22-25 (NIV 1984)

Standards of this age?

Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

~ 1 Corinthians 3:18-23

Listen and Do

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. 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 a 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.

~ James 1:22-25
