The Book of James, Chapter 4: Read &/or listen from the Bible.

By studying this book we have learned practical ways on how to cultivate the necessary behavior. James talks about how to face trials with joy, to control of our tongue, about divine wisdom that our God give us liberally & without reproach when we ask in faith. He reminds us that faith without works is dead, & that our lives should reflect what we believe. James emphasizes that true faith is demonstrated through our actions but also our words.

Book of James, Ch.1

The Book of James, Chapter 1: Read &/or listen from the Bible.

The Book of James has only 5 chapters. The writer of this letter was James a servant of God & half brother of Jesus. (Mat.13:55, Gal. 1:19). He was not a believer until after the resurrection of Jesus. (Jn.7:2-3, Acts 1:14, 1 Cor. 15:7, Acts 12:17). Another brother of Jesus who wrote a book was Jude.

This is considered the oldest book of the New Testament, written around AD 45-50.

We just learned (Pt.1) that our hearts 1/ Are purified by God when we repent & confess our sins & 2/ Purity of heart happens by staying close to God. Mary had learned the most important thing which is to be close to Jesus, in His presence. And that this is more important than anything. We also find a very similar teaching in John 15: 1-7.

Purity of Heart, Pt.1

January 8, 2025 / cristolaverdad

This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series Importance of The Heart

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” Matthew 5:8.

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” Hebrews 12:14.

I think that seeing God is the goal of every single believer, but then. . . are we really paying attention to our heart’s condition?
