Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to James 4:2

For James, Christians (that is, followers of his half-brother) should reflect the character of their God. And what we find in this letter is not works and more works as sometimes thought to be.

But because not one of us is perfect, the proper way to read James is through the lens of the gospel.
