Jakobus - Volharding in beproewinge

Ware geloof word sigbaar wanneer die druk van die lewe toeslaan.

Ons in 'n wêreld vol druk.
- Finansiële druk
- Gesinsdruk
- Werksdruk
- Emosionele druk
- Geestelike aanvalle

James 1:2-3 NLT
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

Die Grieks vir 'trials' = Peirasmos
Dit beteken: toets, druk, beproewing en selfs versoeking.

Vraag: Wat is dit wat uit kom terwyl jy deur beproewing gaan?

James 1:4 NLT
And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

James 1:5-8 NLT
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:12-15 NLT
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. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

James 1:19-25 NLT
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
