Do we apply what we read in God’s Word? The evidence of our faith will be seen in our obedience to God’s Word. We should be active, obedient doers of the Word who pray for our desires to line up with God’s perfect will for our lives.To be effectual believers in this day and age, we need to model our lives after the truth and instruction outlined in God’s Word.

But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]. James 1:22 (AMPC)
