JAMES 3
GODLY WISDOM IS GREATER THAN WORLDLY WISDOM
James warns the believers that not all of them will be teachers of God’s words, explaining the higher standard and judgment that accompany the role. James teaches the power of words and acknowledges that everyone stumbles in this area. Using the images of a small bit inside a horse's mouth and the small rudder that guides a ship, James explains how words contain great influence. Similar to a small match causing a forest fire, words can cause great hurt and misunderstanding. James encourages believers to use their words for blessing others instead of causing harm.
Noting the differences between godly wisdom and earthly wisdom, James states that jealousy and selfish ambition come from the world. The wisdom that God grants contains gentleness, reason, and mercy, resulting in sincere peace and righteousness.
