The Scriptures and Obedience

"Reality in life, not glowing words from the lips, is what Christ requires. What a searching and solemn word is that in James 1:22. 'Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves'...God has given us His Word not only with the design of instructing us, but for the purpose of directing us: to make known what He requires us to do." Pink looks at God's demands upon man and man's failure to meet God's demands before he brings us to God's full provision for meeting His demands. We are called to love God's commandments and yield ourselves to them.
