The fear of God is missing in people’s hearts. Therefore, they often say they are saved without any desire to live for Jesus.
There are only two genders, male and female. Only men and women can come together and procreate the earth with children.
If you are meek in the sight of God, then you are saved. These people are humble and submissive to the things of God.
James 2:19 (KJV)
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
There is only one God. If anyone tells you differently then they do not understand the Bible and are unsaved.
The Trinity is taught in the Bible. This being that the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, are three persons in one God.
To honor and visit widows is God’s directive towards us as Christians. Causing any harm upon them is evil.
God has spoken. Do not take His Name in vain. If you have or do, repent and get right with the Lord while you still have time.
James 5:1-3 (KJV)
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Being rich isn’t the problem, it is when people love their wealth, and possessions, and have little to do with God because of it.
James 4:6-10 (KJV)
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Our lust causes us to be cruel to people we love. It also causes us to do stupid things we will regret. God can fix all this.
James 3:5,6 (KJV)
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Our tongue can get us in a lot of trouble. Only God can help tame it, that we may speak kind words and not curse words.
James 2:5,6 (KJV)
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
How often are the poor ignored while people associate with people who look good? This is not God’s way. Show love to everyone.
James 1:5,6 (KJV)
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Only God can lead us from temptation. He gives us wisdom, helps us learn patience, and makes us strong to resist sin.
Why aren’t more people getting baptized? It is because many pastors are teaching that baptism is not important for salvation.
Women who have abortions are also doing many other things that are very harmful to themselves, others, and especially God.
Be constant in prayer. Pray for your needs and other people’s also. Remember to thank God in the good times and bad.
James 5:14,15 (KJV)
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
God hears our prayers. He is looking for people who will pray for others who are sick, without fear, while looking to Him in faith.
How can people see Christians and glorify God, if there are no good works in our lives? Therefore, faith without works is dead.
Jesus said that we are the light of the world and people will glorify the Father by seeing the good works from God in us.
Walk in the ways of the Lord. Obey God by keeping His commandments. This is showcasing our true love towards Him.
Did the disciples of Christ, in the Bible, believe what Jesus said? Yes, they did. Paul said, “for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
James 1:21-23 (KJV)
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For 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:
Please know that when we stop listening to God, He also stops working in our lives. Therefore, the enemy has access to our lives, in order to hurt us physically and spiritually.
James 1:26,27 (KJV)
26 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.
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.
One thing that was spoken by Paul to the Colossians above is “filthy communication out of your mouth”. Of which also James taught.
