Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does James compare a hearer-only to, and what does he say pure religion looks like?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • When have you looked into God's word like a mirror and then forgotten what you saw?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Whose real need — an orphan, a widow, someone in distress — will you meet this week to put the word into practice?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could see the difference between hearing and doing in how you live this week?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
