James 1:22
But prove yourselves doers of the word (actively and continually obeying God’s precepts), and not merely listeners (who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning), deluding yourselves (by sound reasoning contrary to the truth).
If we go deeper with God, we are able to go deeper with the word. A doer of the word practices the word and puts the word to the test. The Bible doesn’t get a surface read but is read to understand how to thrive daily. Being a doer of the word develops our faith.
