James 1:22 (ESV)
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Mental assent without action is fruitless. Pursuing God is reaching for the fruit of the Spirit, which is the mind and nature of Christ. When we are reborn, we can begin to renew our minds in the word and in the presence of the Spirit. If we ask He will answer. If we seek Him, He will be found.
Being a “doer” of the word is about acquiring and living in the image of God. It is an ongoing and intentional way of life. Jesus is the way.
