CONTINUES IN IT, AND IS NOT A FORGETFUL HEARER BUT A DOER OF THE WORK (James 1:25)
The man who looks into the Word of God and habitually practices it, has practical results in his life. To him the Bible is "the perfect law of liberty." Its precepts are not burdensome. They tell him to do exactly what his new nature loves to do. As he obeys, he finds true freedom from human traditions and carnal reasonings. The truth makes him free. This is the man who benefits from the Bible. He does not forget what he has read and seeks to live it out in daily practice. His simple childlike obedience brings incalculable blessing to his soul. "This one will be blessed in what he does."
