This book convicted me on every reading, but it also taught me so much.
It is succinct. James gives you many gems of wisdom jammed into a short book. I’ve heard it described as the New Testament equivalent of Proverbs. That really helped me understand how to read it. As with the book of Proverbs, be ready for frequent changes of thought. They may not flow together, but they will help you build a Christ glorifying, Christ promoting life.
Be ready to evaluate your life and relationships in light of the renewal that faith in Christ brings. It will teach you how to handle grief, temptation, persecution, injustice, discrimination, confusion, despair, repentance, joy, illness, business, boasting, conversion, bitterness, cursing, strength, division, conflict, giving, offensive speech, and so much more. That was the convicting part. Just how much has my faith changed me? Can others see my living faith through my actions?
It’s not all conviction and motivation though. There is also great comfort. James shows us the glorious truth that God sees our suffering and rewards us for faithful suffering. He also shows us how God sees how the injustice that humans heap on each other and promises justice for both the wicked and the righteous. It is so comforting how he doesn’t point us to each other for justice but to the coming of the Lord of Sabaoth. What could be more comforting?
So much of this book could be quoted, but this is the passage that I want to end with.
“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” (James 5:7-8)
Read it. Over and over and over. Let it change your thoughts and actions. Let it make you into a closer image of Jesus Christ.

James 1:2-3: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.💕

May 27, 2023So much good stuff packed into this short little book. It has always been one of my favorites... probably because I often need its reminders!
“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:16-18 KJV

Another forgery in the New Testament, this one purporting to be from “that James,” the Lord’s brother. Poppycock. This was written around 80 C.E., way after the real James was murdered in Jerusalem around 62 C.E.

WORDS FROM THE BOOK OF JAMES:
This letter is from James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am writing to the “twelve tribes”—Jewish believers scattered abroad. Greetings!
So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.
BLESS THE NAME OF JESUS!

Full of wisdom on many topics in such a short book, and applicable to all parts of life.
Ch4 vs11
11Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

James is the brother of Jesus. In this letter he is writing to encourage the new Jewish Christians and give them some ethical instruction for their new way of life.
Fave verse: 4:11 Speak not evil of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Rather a censorious letter, really! Don’t just say you’re a Christian and refuse to live as one, and don’t conduct yourself as the world does—that’s the sum of this book, and very encouraging it is too.
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Great book. Part of the very Word of God. It gives emphasis to works but not as a means of salvation but rather as a testimony to men that we are saved by grace. The human author was James, the half-brother of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is, of course, the divine author.
