V.22 But Prove, pass the easy test! among the difficulties that test your belief in Bible Teaching are endurance resistance training tests from God designed to put muscle and stamina on your Bible taught Christian discipleship skills Test 1: that Bible Teaching must be acted upon, considered, cultivated and allowed to fill your soul's garden by comparing it with other categories of teaching you have tested, internalized and inventoried. Let it cleanse weeds and preconceptions, or you will remain deluded by sin, the world and the devil. 1:23 For if someone merely hears understands perhaps even assents, but does not act upon Bible teaching, considering, cultivating and allowing Bible teaching to fill the soul's garden by comparing it with other categories of teaching that has been tested, internalized and inventoried, that is like if someone looks in the mirror and v.24 then forgets what he looks like. v.25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law (the Old Testament), the law of liberty (the new testament doctrines), and guides, organizes, his life by it, not merely hearing not merely understanding perhaps even not merely assenting, but acting upon Bible teaching, considering, cultivating and allowing Bible teaching to fill the soul's garden by comparing it with other categories of teaching that has been tested, internalized and inventoried, this man will be blessed whatever he does. 1:26 If we esteem ourselves religious and do not hold our tongue, but deceive our own mentality, our religion is worthless. 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion the way God esteems us is to visit widows and orphans, to sit with, to preach to, to sing with, to go to their long term care homes. Where to encounter orphans? parks? and also to keep ourself unstained by the world. We should put Jesus stamp on it instead. James 2:1 In other words my beloved brethren: Don't put your trust in Bible teaching about in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ together with an attitude of personal favoritism. Tell me you would go to visit a care home over a billionaire home, or even a millionaire home and its hospitality. Acts 10:34,5 Rom.2:11 Deut. 10:17 Gal3:28 Col3:11
