Learn and Do

If we as Christians know the Word why is it that we do not "know" the Word?
Philippians 4:9, “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
I have noticed as the body of Christ, the Members, have different agenda's which can only lead to one conclusion; we are members of a different Body. Is this true? I think NOT! A true born again Christian is the member of One Body; Jesus Christ. In the light of knowing that what should we then conclude? There is a biblical model that we should mirror as the Body of Christ. The Apostle Paul knew this. The things that we hear, read, learn, and receive should lead us into the actions that we do.
A look at the history of Christianity, especially in America, will testify to the actions of the Body. We were once a light that people were drawn to. In times of peril people of all kinds needed that Light and were all too willing to come. Slaves, the poor, the needy, leadership, soldiers, and the list goes on. From George Washington to Abraham Lincoln to those in need during the depression people from all backgrounds, races, and creeds were drawn to the Light that we as the members provided. It is time that we come back together as One Body to be that Light once again. "Know the Word", do what we receive, and may the God of peace with us!
