But he who looks into the perfect Law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
We have been created to ‘do’ things. God’s original purpose for Adam was that he would have dominion, subdue the earth and dress and keep the Garden. He was going to be a doer of God’s will and Word. God’s purpose for man has not changed. We have been re-created for good works.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Once we understand that our works do not save us, we can enter into the freedom of our works revealing the nature of Christ within. When we begin to release the Grace of God in us to the world around us, blessings find us.
"If I then, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”
“Blessed are you if you do them.” Though we have been blessed with all blessings in Christ, there are keys to releasing God’s blessing in our lives. Being a doer of His Word is one of those keys.
Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (Mt 7:24-25)
Once again, our efforts must flow from our born again nature, not from our flesh. We do the Word when we allow it to motivate us to bless and serve others. When we love, we are doers of the Word. When we forgive, give, bless, and pray for others, we are doers of the Word. These things flow from our righteousness.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Be Blessed!
