Be ye doers of the word . Now God is talking to His children, and He is saying that if you’re just a hearer of the Word, you’re only deceiving your own selves. And we need to recognize that He is making it very clear that hearing leads to doingnot to ritual and that which is habitual. Not that which is drab or monotonous, not that which is routine. And the word for doers here, actually, it has to do with exciting living, thrilling experience, creative action, doing something for God, motivated by an inner desire.
