  1. The right way to experience salvation

  2. The birth of a child of God(The relationship) • In the exercise of His will • He brought us forth • By the word of truth • That we might become the first-fruits of his creatures

  3. The right way to experience salvation(The religion)

  4. We need to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath! • Are we ready to hear? To say like Samuel, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening?” • Everybody has an opinion; but the disciple is concerned only with “what does the Lord say?” • What is our reaction when God’s word challenges our behavior?

  5. We need to put aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness. • We need to see our sins as if they were dirty garments that are repulsive to God. • How much dirt can we tolerate?

  6. We need to receive the word with “meekness”. • It means we are willing to remain gentle and quiet when brought under the control of God and His word. • What are you presently working on? What are you trying to improve in? Have you evaluated and made some goals to change something about your life that needs correcting?

  7. We need to be doers, not just hearers, v. 22-25 • We have to value the word itself. • We must reflect and meditate. • We must look for way to apply the message.

  8. We need to test ourselves with specifics • Did we control our tongue this past week? • Did we visit the fatherless and widows in their distress? • Did we keep ourselves unspotted from the world?

  9. It’s one thing to be religious. It’s another thing altogether to say, “I want to be a child of God. I want to let His word transform me into someone that bears His likeness.
