Day Three - The Characteristic of Faith (Part Two) \- Read James 3:1-5:6
Moving from works to words, James shows how a living faith controls the tongue (“Slow to speak,” James 1:19 ). The tongue is small, but it has the power to accomplish great good or equally great evil. Only the power of God applied by an active faith can tame the tongue ( James 3:1-12 ). Just as there are wicked and righteous uses of the tongue, so there are demonic and divine manifestations of wisdom ( James 3:13-18 ). James contrasts seven characteristics of human wisdom with seven qualities of divine wisdom.
The strong pull of worldliness ( James 4:1-12 ) and wealth ( James 4:13-5:6 ) create conflicts that are harmful to the growth of faith. The world system is bitter with God; and the pursuit of its pleasures produces covetousness, envy, fighting, and arrogance ( James 4:1-6 ). The believer’s only alternative is submission to God out of humble and repentant spirit. This will produce a transformed attitude toward others as well ( James 4:7-12 ). This spirit of submission and humility should be applied to any attempts to amass wealth ( James 4:13-17 ), especially because wealth can lead to pride, injustice, and selfishness ( James 5:1-6 ).
