We have to practice Christianity to be good at it. This shouldn't be a surprise since the same also holds true for basically everything else we do in life, but I'm not sure we approach it that way.
We need to immerse ourselves in the Bible's teachings, just like we would if we were trying to learn a new language. And we have to keep practicing Christianity every day, because to really learn something you have to apply it to your life, not just read or hear about it. I think that is what James is saying in 1:22-25. "...being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing."
