James

Wisdom is more than intelligence or insight. It is not simply mental but moral. It is understanding how to live God’s way in God’s world and then acting on that. Among the New Testament epistle writers, James is especially concerned that we take hold of God’s wisdom. As we put our faith in a gracious Father, He will give us the wisdom to walk in a way that pleases Him.

An Invitation to Wisdom

The Book of James is a practical guide for Christian living, emphasizing faith in action. It addresses perseverance in trials, wisdom, the power of prayer, and good works as evidence of faith. James warns about the importance of taming the tongue, urging believers to control their speech. With straightforward teachings, it encourages authentic living, demonstrating faith through righteous deeds and a consistent, godly lifestyle.

This is the perfect plan to read through the Book of James in 5 days, with a summary for each chapter.
