“Everyone who hears these words of
mine and puts them into practice is like
that wise man who built his house on
the rock.”
Matthew 7:24
To Build My Life on the Bible…
1. I receive it with my ears
“Faith comes from hearing the message,
and the message is heard through the
Word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17
“Everyone should be QUICK TO LISTEN,
slow to speak and slow to become angry,
for man’s anger does not bring about the
righteous life that God desires.
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil
that is so prevalent and humbly ACCEPT THE
WORD planted in you,
which can save you.”
James 1:19-21
For “Good Reception” I need to be…
Quiet
Clean
Calm
Humble

I read it with my eyes
“Do not merely listen to the Word, and so
deceive yourselves. Do what is 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

3. I research it with my
hands & mouth
Bible “STUDY” requires
- writing down what I learn
- talking about what I learn
You study the Scriptures diligently
because you think that in them
you have eternal life.
These are the very Scriptures
that testify about me
John 5:39
,
Now the Berean Jews were of more
noble character than those in Thessalonica,
for they received the message
with great eagerness and examined
the Scriptures every day to see if
what Paul said was true.
Acts 17:11

4. I review & remember
it with my mind
“The man who looks intently into the
perfect law…and continues to do this,
not forgetting what he has heard but
doing it, he will be blessed in what
he does.”
James 1:25
The Bible term for
remembering & reviewing
God’s Word is
meditation
“Do not let this Book of the Law depart
from your mouth; meditate on it day
and night, so that you may be careful to
do everything written in it. Then you
will be prosperous and successful.”
Joshua 1:8

I respond to it with
my actions
“Do not merely listen to the Word, and
so deceive yourselves.
DO what it says!”
James 1:22
Matthew 7:24-27
