It seems that for Jesus and later the apostles it is never enough to just believe. We are called to believe and put it into practice. To be not just hearers but also doers of God’s word. Practice is an integral part of discipleship and transformation. You do not become all the things God has called you to be by trying really hard. You just cannot. But you practice and over time you can do it. You see practice is about doing in small bits what you cannot do now so that in time you will be able. All the things Jesus has called us to be can often seem heavy and for some outright impossible but practice is what gets us there through the power of the Holy Spirit..
