The implanted word.


James 1:21 ‘...receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.’


Salvation is all of God.

It is not our efforts but His life that must increase in us.

Only by turning from self reliance

and the empty workings of religion

can we receive the implanted word with meekness.

Only faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ brings salvation.

Only the Holy Spirit can implant the word of God into our heart.

Only the Holy Spirit can cause the implanted word to grow within us.

But we are co workers with God

when the implanted word is sown through the preaching of the gospel;

watered through the teaching of the word and encouragement;

and nurtured through prayer and fellowship.
