James Chapter 1 Discussion Page 23

Hello Clantoal - please just stay with the King James Version of the Holy Bible - there are too many changes and omissions in the NIV. May the Lord bless you

Wisdom to understand why we are going through situations is lacked in many christians, hence christians so often respond to many situations carnally. God gives without holding back anything for the good of His children. All we need to do is ask in faith and in faith believe that you have received it.

One of the definitions of faith is belief, trust in and loyalty to God. Patience is defined as bearing pains of trials calmly or without complaint and also defined as steadfast despite opposition, difficulty or adversity.

Lord, help us to be doers of the word and not hearers only

I THANK GOD FOR HIS PROPHETIC DISCIPLES FOR ADDING THE CLARITY OF GOD'S WORD SO THAT THE GROWING CHRISTIANS SUCH AS WE,CAN CONSUME, DIGEST, PURGE, AND STAND ON HIS WORD. THE BOOK OF JAMES TEACHES US HOW TO USE THE SWORD FOR OUR TRAILS, AND TRY THE SPIRIT BY THE SPIRIT, AND WAIT ON GOD AS WE KNOW HE IS WITH US EVEN IN THE MIST OF OUR STORMS.
THIS IS A VERSION OF THE "FOOTPRINTS". HE NEVER LEAVES US, NO MATTER WHAT. WE LEAVE HIM. JUST STAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

Unspotted means anonymous, your father in heaven knows and will reward you. Good people I have known, there good deeds bear the testimony.Why would we want others to know the good things we do, helping the needy. Jesus forbade those he did miracles for healing blind to not tell anyone. I have seen politicians go and appear to work with his family, washing dishes in a soup kitchen that was already clean. Was he unspotted? I should say not he was on CNN. To

Pure religion is to help those in need. The fatherless the widows but most of all stay away from the wordly pleasures.

Need. Reading

Thank you for making this p***age so easy to ***ess and understand. It is what I need.

James and Paul give great instruction for the Christian life. James gives us some of the answers that all Christians have asked..."Where are the instructions on how I live this life every day?" Thank you for God's living and breathing word in James.

The Book of James is the new testament's Proverbs. It's a guide that tells us exactly what we need to do, when we need to do it, and how we need to do it! God has given us our "daily bread" in James and as the word says, we need daily bread to survive. So let us continue to feed our "spirit" daily by reading and applying the Book of James to all that we think, say, and do. AMEN!

23 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Verse 23 reads like "works" I mean it's some thing that you DO. Be DOERS of the WORD. OR obey Gods Word.I've never understood the thinking of those who down play works. Works is essential to salvation, in other words, man DOES the works of God. WHY is it sooo important to be a DOER of the Gods word??? Verse 24 tells us why.




24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

if you decide to read this verse GOD will reveal your sin's powerful verse.

Amen!! (Commenting on "Verse of of the day")
Today my engine is ruined, and someone said to me today about it, "Count it all joy".... now this verse on this site is a confirmation to me--TY GOD!! and God Bless anyone reading this!! :D

The book of James is call " The Book Of LIfe", because it have everything to help us in life, to keep us strong, and remembering who we are,dontbe double minded, doers of the word, lack wisdom ask God,dont have weavering faith,dont think to much of one self,. everything we need is in this book of James.

The scripture provides courage and confidence.
God is good all the time!

we are to trust god not man we are to walk by faith not by sight god is our help in time of need

My thoughts on James chapter one is:God reminding us that we have to keep are focus in this life on his will; Forgetting are own; that are patiences frees us from suffering, that are wisdom, that God has given to us, keeps us making the right decisions, at the right times,and that we don't just read are word, and not apply it in are lives.
And it also exposes the religous spirit; That Demon Spirit that keep us believing that we're Holy and more acceptable to God than the Homosexual, than the theif,than the lier, than the promiscuous person : it is the same spirit that ruled in the pharisees that ended up murdering Jesus, and is still trying to do the same in are lives..........

Blessed book of James is one we should read eveyday too keep are memory fresh, and are focus on God's will, before us. Before we face the world and evrything it has to throw at us. Bless God for his word, Saints, and remember are spirit needs food, just like are body does, to become and remain strong in battle.

Amen! and again; Bless God saints for what he has already done for you, and remain humble that he may use us to are max capacity.

We Christians need to allow the Spirit of God help us follow the bible in our actions. There is need for us to stop being religious and become doers of the word of God. We don't want to be helping unbelievers blaspheme God because of our actions. Therefore, our daily prayer should be: Lord please take control of my tongue and temper.

James is committed to the words of Jesus and follows him and not other apostles or other Christians. Jesus is both God and man. Jesus said he is in us and the Father is in him. James delivers a gentle gospel that is wonderful to teach to children.

I see this Chapter of James like the rest of the book of James it is instruction on HOW to live the Christian life and be an example of Christ before others and James points out in this Chapter again the most dangerous instrument we all have a problem with at times the tongue. Just think of what we Christians could do for our Lord and Savior if we would let Him rule our tongues

Where are all the comments for this verse ? Maybe one of the most important in the NT. Helping the helpless is one of Gods great desires . Want to please God ? Help the helpless when you can .
Live a holy life because without Holiness no man shall see the Lord .
When we do help others , we do get blessed by God , but if Holiness is missing so is the magnitude of the blessing .

I love reading God’s word and I just want to thank him for the blessings I've been trying to keep myself humble like the bible says so that I can not be tempted with evil.

This scripture lets me know that patience has to work and finish its work, then comes the glory. So don't faint. I love it!

recently have been more diligent bringing GOD with me all day long and will not doubt the road I am on, pure faith, knowing that where i am and where i am going is where GOD wants me to be!

I think the only place in Scripture where you can find the true meaning of the word "religion" is verse 27!

The basic meaning of superfluity is an overflow of evil. The Holy Spirit is teaching us through the Apostle James, that we must be doers of the word, and not hearers only. We must put away the overflow of evil in our lives, by receiving the implanted word of God, with meekness, which is able to save our souls. Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. As we feed on the Word of God, the Spirit of God transforms us into a child of God. If any man is in Christ Jesus, he is a new creation, the old is gone, and all things become new. II Cor. 5:17

When you are at that point where you know that it is only God that can see you through, you know for sure that it takes patience. I love this scripture!

Verse 25 is my life line!

Oh. Thank you for the word.
