James: A Review

COMMENTS

I’ve loved our study of James, just as I thought I would.  As always, the question I ask now is, “Bottom line, what is God through James trying to tell me?  What do all of those individual instructions add up to?”


NOTES

As I review the Book of James and prayerfully consider his teachings, it seems that there really is a central theme:  Actively Living My Faith in Jesus Christ.  If I’m a true believer, everything I do should be a result of that faith.  It should change me at the core of who I am.  Nothing should be unaffected.

My view of trials should be different.
My view of God should be different.
My view of others should be different.
My view of myself should be different.
My willingness to obey God should be different.
My reason for obeying God should be different.
How I treat others should be different.
How I speak should be different.
My attitude should be different.
My relationships with others should be different.
My relationship with God should be different.

Bottom line?  If I actively live out my faith in Jesus Christ, I will be different.  I will be like my hero.  I will be like Christ.
