James 1:1-8

Hello, just thought that I would summarize what I taught in today's sun school here. =)

After finishing Psalms, we are starting on James today. Coincendentally which YF just finished reading.

Chapter 1:1-8

James, brother of Jesus, writing to the Christians dispersed throughout the Roman empire. To encourage them that through faith in Christ, evidently good actions will be borne out of it. And not to jsut be a hypocrite professing in name to be a Christian but actions show other wise.

v2. Trials of many kinds bring about perseverance. Perseverance -> though under trials, you continue to await upon the Lord's deliverance.

With perseverance comes (v3) maturity and completeness which we need no other quality.

v5. We can ask for wisdom if we ask in faith. Definition of wisdom? I would define it as "in all areas of your life, the decisions you make, the actions you make, the words you say, all are according to the teachings of God's Word in the Bible." In short, gloryfing God with our every move by doing it in accordance with the teachings in the bible.

K...here's my short summary...let's await 1:9-18 in the coming week! =D

Glory be to the Lord.
