“We spent time on how the believers should be living in the truth in the time of James. He never losses sights of the scriptures, and he never losses sights on the grounds of the ideas and principles.”
- Albert Cruz
“If we have troubles, cheer up!”
James 1:2 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,”
1:3 “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience
God uses trials to develop us into His children. Not to delay us! (Trial is inevitable and is part of developing a Godly character!
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow wrath”
“WE CANNOT TAME OUR TONGUE!”
1. It is an unruly or restless evil
2. It is full of deadly poison
3. “tame” used of legion in Mk 5:4
4. “unruly” is translated “unstable” in 1:8
What kind of Religion do we have?
·One that looks good from the outside? ; or· One that teaches us to live as children of God?James 1:27
“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.”
Those who are pure and undefiled before God are the ones who come to the aid of orphans and widows in their distress or those who are unable to help themselves. Another character of a pure religion are the ones that keep themselves unspotted from the world. Your existence and everything you think to be true are not invalidated just because you do not follow the road that the rest of the world pursues. Being different is simply how members of God's family live. We have a tendency to stray from the path most of the time, but we must always remember that James has encouraged his brothers and sisters to always strive to achieve success in life.
The acts of a pure servant are visible from the inside. Pure servants are those who are never afraid to be different, they visits the fatherless and widows in their time of need, they are worldly unspotted and continually possesses endurance under trial.
