Presentation transcript:

James 1:21 1

The gospel to be preached. Romans 1:16 God desires all men to be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4 Knowledge of the truth. 2 Peter 3:9 Come to repentance. Accomplished through the “foolishness of preaching.” 1 Corinthians 1:21 Go “make disciples,” through preaching. Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15-16 “Faith” produced by hearing. cf. Romans 10:17; John 20:

One Must Have A Receptive Heart Not everyone has a receptive heart. Jews who heard Jesus preach. John 5:39-42; cf. Matthew 13:15 Those who stoned Stephen. Acts 7:51ff cf. “Honest and good heart.” Luke 8:15ff Ethiopian eunuch. Acts 8 Cornelius. Acts 10 Mary. Luke 10:

One Must Have A Receptive Heart Necessary for one who is not a Christian. Necessary for Christians! James writing to those who are “begotten” James 1:18 James speaks of himself as a “servant of Jesus Christ.” James 1:1 Addresses Jewish Christians in the Dispersion. James 1:1 Urges them to “hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ …, with respect of persons.” James 2:1 Urges them to “be patient unto the coming of the Lord.” James 5:7 These are to “receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” James 1:21 4

Hindrances To A Receptive Heart Must Be Removed Those who would receive the word with meekness must be: “Swift to hear.” James 1:19 Hunger and thirst. Matthew 5:6; 1 Peter 2:2 Isaiah 55:3 “Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live.” Matthew 11:15; 13:13-15 Hear with the desire to carry it out. James 1:23 5

Those who would receive the word with meekness must be: “Slow to speak.” James 1:19 – two ears, but one mouth. Proverbs 29:20 “Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.” Proverbs 21:23 “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.” James 1:26 the man who “bridles not his tongue …, this man’s religion is vain.” 6 Hindrances To A Receptive Heart Must Be Removed

Those who would receive the word with meekness must be: “Slow to wrath” – “for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:19-20 cf. Naaman. 2 Kings 5 cf. 2 Corinthians 12:20; Galatians 5:20 7 Hindrances To A Receptive Heart Must Be Removed

“Wherefore …” James 1:21 “Putting away all filthiness.” dirty, filthy. Filth, filthiness, figuratively in a moral sense (James 1:21). Syn.: aischrót¢s, shame, obscenity; molusmós, defilement; asélgeia, lasciviousness, licentiousness; aischrología, filthy talk; míasma, defilement; miasmós, the act or process of defiling; akatharsía, uncleanness. (The Complete Word Study Dictionary) 8 Hindrances To A Receptive Heart Must Be Removed

“Wherefore …” James 1:21 “Putting away all … overflowing of wickedness” Not just abundance or excess … But, put away ALL OF IT. cf. 1 Peter 2:1; Ephesians 4:24-25; cf. Colossians 3:5 Denying ungodliness and worldly lust! Titus 2:11 9 Hindrances To A Receptive Heart Must Be Removed

“Wherefore…” James 1:21 “Receive WITH MEEKNESS … the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” Before the word can save your soul, it must be received. cf. Luke 8:11-15 We are responsible for its reception. 10

What Is Meekness? 2 Timothy 2:25 “In meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Peter 3:15 “but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: (being) ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear.” 11

What Is Meekness? “It is that attitude of spirit we accept God’s dealings with us as good and do not dispute or resist … it is a condition of mind and heart which demonstrates gentleness, not in weakness, but in power. It is a balance born in strength of character.” (The Complete Word Study Dictionary) 12

What Is Meekness? Mild, Gentle, Patient, Longsuffering, Absence of pride … Not incompatible with power. NOTE: Moses. Numbers 12:3; Jesus. Matthew 11:28 One who hears with the intention of obeying. James 1:22-25 Ethiopian eunuch. Acts 8 Cornelius. Acts 10 Mary. Luke 10:

Conclusion: James 1:21 “Wherefore … receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”  He who hears sound doctrine taught, but does not put it into practice will not profit. “Take heed what ye hear.” Mark 4:24 “Take heed how ye hear.” Luke 8:18 14
