22 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it–he will be blessed in what he does.
I think that more often than not we look in the mirror and then forget what we do look like. We get wrapped up in worldly things and shove Gods word into a corner. People criticize Christians all the time that Christians are hypocrites because we haven't gotten rid of the moral filth.
We do need to make that conscious effort to remember what we look like. I do not think it is easy by any means, and sometimes its much easier to forget than to make an effort to remember Gods word. But keeping each other accountable is a way that we remember what Gods word says and to do what Gods word says...
Have an awesome Tuesday!!!

thanks for your reflection jen. the word of God is a mirror and reading it and acting upon it is the only way we will see ourselves in a true light. we've no idea who we really are, we've no clue what we honestly look like, until we see our lives in the light of God's truth. as we study it, we will come to understand more and more that His Word is always proved right. His judgments are sure; His precepts are true; His commandments are altogether unerring.
