Acting on the Word Believing demands action, creates action. Mental assent admires, admits, but does not act. Acting on the Word is letting Christ act through you. Acting on the Word, then, gives God an opportunity. Giving the Word its place is giving Christ His position of Lordship. The problem of believing is made simple when we know that it is acting on what God has spoken. “Everyone therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock; and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the rock” (American Standard Version). “Everyone who hears these teachings and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise man who built his house upon the rock” (Weymouth). (The “rock” is “doing the Word.” He that does not do the Word never builds upon a solid foundation. “And everyone that heareth these words and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.” The hearer must become a doer or else the entire structure that he builds will be destroyed.
