God cares not only that we hear the Word, but that we do it. True religion will be shown by our practical actions.

The Word of God is able to save. Our tongues are often instruments of sin. We therefore need to be people who are committed much more to listening than to speaking.

God uses trials for our good, but he is never the source of temptation to sin. No, God is the source of every good gift. We must trust in his goodness at all times—and especially in times of trial.

The Lord causes us to become steadfast and complete when he brings us through trial—and he makes us wise as we come to him in faith. Trust him in times of trial—call out to him for the wisdom you will need to navigate those times of trial with a godly perspective.

Living as free people in the power of the Spirit, we are called to do good to those around us—and especially to those of the family of faith. (This will include the hard work of restoring a fallen brother.) And as people made free through Jesus, we are to boast exclusively in the cross of Christ, and not in law-keeping.
