Act Up!

 

The purpose of this article is to describe the term, Act Up!  This term is used to explain our active response to the Bible's teachings.  In my personal opinion, every Follower of JESUS has been called to Act Up

Throughout the week Believer's read their Bible, and most often are hopeful to further develop their daily relationship with the LORD and to gain a greater understanding of GOD and HIS ways.  On weekends, these same Christians attend a local church where they listen to a Pastor or Bishop provide more knowledge from the Scriptures.

It is very important for the Christen to spend time in the Scriptures and then make a plan to Act Up on all they have learned.  These seem to be the days that passivity is leaving us behind and the LORD is looking for all of us who believe in JESUS to Act Up 

James 1:22-25 clearly explains the necessity of Acting Up on the things we learn from the Scriptures.


James, Chapter 1 






"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.

 

Verses 22-25
