“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 1:25 (NIV)
This verse reminds us how important it is to keep following the instructions which God has given us in the Bible. The gospel is a message to set us free from sin but it also goes on to show us how to live. So what God wants us to do is to continue to follow His teachings and He is watching over us from day to day to be sure that we are able to do that with his grace and mercy. And what does God promise for those of us who remember to follow His teachings through our lives? He promises a blessing and we can be sure that He will bless everyone of us who keep following His teaching. So let's be sure to do what this verse tells us to do, to look intently into God's word and the perfect law that gives us our freedom. The law spoken here is the perfect Law of God, not the imperfect Law of Moses. The perfect sacrifice for us has been given by Jesus on the cross. We believe and receive through faith in that sacrifice, our new life.
