(James 1:21)…..Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the implanted (engrafted) word, which is able to save your souls. It is vitally important that we receive in us the implanted Word of God as believers in Jesus Christ. To receive the Word means to take the Word (as my possession), to contain the word (as being held by it), and to be the object of (as governed by it).Have you received God’s word in such a way. It is much like the behavior of the Berean’s in (Acts 17:11).
There are some have heard the Word of God all our lives but we have never received it by faith. Oh they have read it, but they just don’t believe it. Do you believe the full counsel of God’s word? Too many Christians mark their bibles, but their bibles never mark them!
Notice what James says about the Implanted Word of God. It is able to save your soul! (Romans 1:16-17). However, we cannot benefit from our study of the Word if we continue to engage in wickedness. Maybe this is why so many don’t get very much out of Bible study. The idea of implanted is that the Word becomes a permanent fixture in our lives (Psalm 119:11). Today, let God put His word in you, and let Him mark you by it.
