In James 1:9-18, the author continues to urge us to have a biblical perspective on the difficult and the good things in life, including poverty and riches, trials and temptations, and perfect gifts from God. Although we may not be able to change our circumstances, we can develop a Christian approach to them.
When we fulfill the roles assigned to us by God, both children and parents end up happier.
Because humans were dead in our sins, the only possible solution was for God to make us alive because of his grace.
After relating terrible events that must happen before Christ’s coming, this text leaves believers with a simple message – Stand Firm!
