We belong to God by obeying his word.

1. Obedience stops self deception.

--don't just listen, but apply

--just hearing the word doesn't make you a believer

--the word shows us ourselves for who we really are, but we do nothing to change that realization

-Responses to "the mirror":

1. smash the mirror

2. ignore the image

3. change the image

2. Obedience always brings about change

--don't be a forgetful hearer: stand on and abide by the word in all circumstances
