He shows that wisdom is required for proper speech in worship and in determining who ought to teach. His solutions to these issues reflect the wisdom which comes from the "Father of Lights" above (1:17). James addresses internal and external difficulties being faced in congregations. Like Jesus' teachings, the book of James is a source of exhortation and comfort, reproof and encouragement. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.more If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.īut be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.įor if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. If every Christian in every church lives out this book, church would be exactly as Jesus meant it to be… a wonderful, encouraging, helpful, loving place.
OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS ESV FULL
