Hopefully making theology simpler to understand! (2 Corinthians 1:12)

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

James 1:22‭-‬24, ESV

If we only read the Bible but never apply it to our own lives, or we merely apply it to others, we risk leading others away from Christ. We risk remaining lost.
