THOSE WHO HEAR AND DO

James 1: 25: But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Those who are "doers of the Word" look into the perfect law of liberty--they hear the gospel of Christ and behold their old, sinful bodies as dead and buried in Christ. They see in Christ--their Perfect Liberty--that their acceptance with God is complete in him. "Doers of the Word" hear their King declare that all who believe on him are no longer under the law of Mt. Sinai but are under his perfect law of freedom. They go their way continuing in the liberty with which Christ has set them free. "Doer's of God's Word" do not look to what they do--whether good or bad--they look to Christ alone.
