Children's Bible Stories- Hearers of the Word

In James, verses nineteen and twenty, it is emphasized that humans should be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath, as wrath does not work for God's righteousness. The text also emphasizes the importance of being a good hearer of the word, as a rat has traveled with humans throughout history, feeding on human waste. Therefore, it is crucial to be a good listener for Jesus.
