James: Advice for the Christian Life

As Christ's followers, it is our desire to live victorious lives, free of temptation. But we know that we all struggle with it. Let's examine why and how we are tempted and how we can be overcomers. Here is a 7-day plan written by Navaz DCruz that helps us examine our hearts and reflect upon some truths.

Temptation : Why Can't I Say No?

In the early church, there was a distorted mindset that Christians, if saved by grace through faith, need not worry about their actions. James responded solemnly with this overarching idea in the letter: faith without works is dead. Therefore, he exhorts all believers with practical advice on how to overcome temptation, persevere in trials, treat others without favoritism, tame our tongues, and manage our wealth in God’s way.
