Receiving and doing

James 1:21, 22 reads, "Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow (abundance) of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." First of all, we are to lay aside the garbage in our lives. Then, we are to receive the implanted Word with humility. But we don't just stay there, receiving the implanted Word and getting fat. We have to exercise our faith. We should take what we have learned and apply it to our lives. We must also share it with others; being a doer of the Word.
