Learn how God’s Word changes desires, behavior, and practical Christian living.In this study through James 1:19–27, the focus is on what it means to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. This passage explains how the Word of God changes a believer from the inside out, transforming desires, behavior, and daily conduct.This verse-by-verse Bible study explores the importance of receiving the implanted Word, laying aside filthiness and wickedness, and becoming doers of the Word rather than hearers only. James uses vivid pictures such as the mirror, the bridled tongue, and the law of liberty to show how genuine faith produces visible fruit.Special attention is also given to pure and undefiled religion, including caring for widows and orphans and remaining unstained by the world. This is a deeply practical passage on Christian maturity, obedience, love, and the life-changing power of Scripture.Topics covered:Quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger  Hearers vs. doers of the Word  The implanted Word of God  The law of liberty  Bridling the tongue  Pure and undefiled religion  Visiting widows and orphans  Practical Christian livingSupport the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
