Be Eager For The Word
“Be eager for the word. The first aspect of the word is faith, the second is love, the third is works, and from these comes life.
The word is like a grain of wheat. When someone sowed it, he had faith in it, and when it sprouted, he loved it, because he saw many grains instead of just one. And after he worked, he was saved because he prepared it as food and he still kept some out to sow.
This is also how you can acquire heaven’s kingdom for yourselves. Unless you acquire it through knowledge, you will not be able to find it. ”
– The Secret Book of James, The Nag Hammadi Scriptures: The International Edition, Ed. Marvin Meyer, p. 27
