Further, remember His words,"Why call ye Me Lord, Lord, and do not the things I say do?" (Luke 6:46)  In other words, "Faith (belief or profession) without works is dead." (Jas. 2:26)

If I do not heed to do what Jesus Christ says do, I am fooling myself that I believe on Him!  "IN VAIN" have I taken His name (calling myself "Christian") if yet I joke as the world jokes, if I daily neglect His word as the world does, if I daily neglect prayer as the world does, if yet I wear the harlot attire of the world, if yet I attend the world's shows, go the world's ways, and if yet I think the world's thoughts and hold the world's opinions.  He says, "IF ye love Me, ye WILL KEEP My commandments." (John 14:15,21,23)

Reader, you may have believed in Him already as other people's Savior--but have you personally taken Him as your own?  It is this personal relation (growing out of personal confession and repentance and personal walk) that alone can save.  How do I this?  Go to Him, confess personally my sins specifically and definitely.  He says, "If we  confess our sins, He is faithful and just to    forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all  unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).  Sin continued in, is not really repented of.
Now daily feed on His word, in systematic daily Bible reading and meditation.  Make a list of every thing in the reading the Scripture indicates as good to DO and of everything it indicates we are NOT to do.  Turn from whatever God frowns on in any person or passage and at once begin to put into the life every thing that God in the Scriptures commends in a life or a Scripture portion.  This, or such, is the Believer's Life, and very soon it is filled with a knowledge, a joy, a victory and a power, that the world did not give and that the world cannot take away!
If we are not already in this manner of life, RIGHT NOW start by bowing in prayer in full confession and asking for deliverance from every sin  confessed, and from all sin. If we are not alone  or where we feel we can do this RIGHT NOW, get up and go to place where we can do this immediately.  Then at once, after such prayer, take your Bible, begin at the first of any book therein (we suggest begin with the Book of John), and read a good portion, beginning the first, and meditate thereon.
