God’s Word is Central

  • If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. (John 15:10)
  • 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. 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 someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 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 1:21-25)
  • “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” (Luke 6:46)
