Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your soul.

For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his face in a mirror, and once he looks away he forgets what kind of a man he was.

But the one that look intently into the perfect law (Matthew 5:21-47) the law of liberty and lives by it doing as we are commanded not just hearing it and then forgetting it, that person will be blessed in what he does.

 

We should not practice our righteousness before men to be noticed; otherwise we will have no reward with Father God who is in heaven. No one needs to know how much or how little we give, that is known by the Father.

When we pray we should pray in secret not out in front of every one and we should not use meaningless words, or a lot of words, a short prayer from the heart is more affective then a long prayer with a many of words. We are taught that the Father knows what we need before we ask Him, and that we should pray like this.

 

Matthew 6:9-13 Our Father who art in heaven,

                          Hallowed be Thy name. your kingdom come.

                          your will be done,

                          On earth as it is in heaven.

                          Give us this day our daily bread.

                          And forgive us our debts,

                          as we also have forgiven our debtors.

                          And do not lead us into temptation,

                          but deliver us from the evil one.

                          For Yours is the kingdom,

                          and the power,

                          and the glory,

                          forever. Amen
