BIBLICAL TRUTH
We have relationship to the all knowing God.
We have relationship to the all knowing God.
John MacArthur
And if a believer who is being tested is not driven to the Lord and does not develop a deeper prayer life, the Lord is likely to keep the test active and even intensify it until His child comes to the throne of Grace - until he makes his ear attentive to wisdom.

DOUGLAS MOO
James, then, exhorts both poor and rich Christians to remember that the sole basis for their confidence is their identification with Jesus Christ. Poor believers insignificant and of no account in the eyes of the world, are to rejoice in their relationship with the Lord who has been exalted to the highest position in the universe. Rich believers, well off and secure in their possessions, with great status in the eyes of the world, are to remember that their only lasting security comes through their relationship with the 'man of suffering',' despised and rejected by mankind'.

LIVE FOR HIS REWARD
v.12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Christ's Work of making New Men is like turning a horse into a winged creature. It is not mere improvement but Transformation. It is a change that goes off in a totally different direction- a change from being creatures of God to being sons of God.
