Would you take God's word and turn, please, to the book of James chapter one? And I want to speak to

tonight about God's word as a mirror. Now, I think that most of you, before you came to church,

stopped by the mirror, and you looked in. A few, I think maybe you didn't, but most of you, you stopped by

the mirror and you looked in before you go out in public or you get here and the wind's blowing,

you go in and check yourself just a little bit. Now I want us to check ourselves tonight in God's mirror, the Word of God.

James chapter 1 and verse 22, here's a command, be doers of the word, and not hearers only,

deceiving your own selves. But if any man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man

beholding his natural face in a glass. That is, he's like a man looking at his physical features

in a mirror. For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way and straight way forgetteth what manner of man he was.

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty.

That's just a synonym for the word of God, the perfect law of liberty.

And isn't that a beautiful phrase, the law of liberty?

And continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the

work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Now, the Bible is so marvelous and so rich and has so much variegated splendor in all that it says and does and is

that there are many emblems and many symbols for the Word of God.

Jeremiah said the Word of God is like a hammer.

David said the Word of God is like a lamp.

Moses said the Word of God is like bread.
