James Chap.2

Verses:1-7 The sin of Respect of Persons,wow,thas deep.....
We should not show respect 2 men so much that it clouds or lessens  Jesus Christ, bein the Lord of Glory.
James cautions against showing partiality,and making decisions based on the attire of a person.In matters of religion,no mans riches makes him any closer 2 God,nor does a man bein' poor make any farther from God.
As Christians we have 2 B very careful about giving glory 2 worldly greatness and riches.2 form a certain opinion based on sum1's reputation of greatness is an evil thought process.By havin these thoughts we become opposite of God.The poor and lowly that U ignore can b chosen of God and R chosen of God.The poor in the world R rich n faith,The rich in the world R rich N good works.Respecting persons on account of their riches or outward figures,is shown 2 B a great sin.These thoughts dishonor your name,(greatly).

Verses:8-13  Lets get it fixed!!!
The scriptures say 2 love all our neighbors rich or poor,as we love ourselves.One simple rule 2 follow,keeping U on the right path.This rule of lovin others as we love ourselves is a law every1 must live by.Its a royal law and it comes from the King of Kings...We must govern and conduct ourselves by the laws of Jesus Christ.THE GOSPEL IS OUR LAW.It gives us our duty and also comforts us.Christ rules,teaches,and intercedes for us.Service 2 God is perfect freedom.All our conversations should B gospel conversations.

Verses:14-26
Paul:Speaks of works brought on by obedience 2 the law of Moses.Which speaks of our works being approved of by God.
James:Speaks of obedience 2 the gospel.Which speaks of our faith  being justified B4 men.
Both trying to magnify the faith.
But listen,Faith w/out works will not profit,nor save us.What sense does it make 4 a man 2 say he has faith but never show any actions outside of saying it.Mock faith is hateful.
Faith is the first principle of Christianity.Faith w/out works is dead,If Ur not doin anything 2 show your spirituality....Abraham had a working faith,and by that faith he became a friend of God.
 Your works of true faith must B executed from the commands of God,not your own imaginations or thoughts.
The best works,w/out faith R dead.
FAITH IS THE ROOT,GOOD WORKS ARE THE FRUITS,AND WE MUST C 2 IT THAT WE HAVE BOTH,CANT HAVE 1 W/OUT THE OTHER!

James Chapter 1

Verse one:James was a servant of God and of Christ Jesus,and that is who he preferred people know who he was as opposed to being called Jesus brother.HE WANTED TO BE KNOWN FOR HIS SPIRITUALITY RATHER THAN WHO HE WAS KIN TO.We 2 must strive for this title "Servants of God and Christ"above all else in this world.
God had scattered HIS tribes,scattered them in anger.,but with mercy.And even tho there was a scattering GOD wanted the ones who had embraced the Christian faith to kno that they were looked after.So James penned a letter to them from God he said do not think that U R rejected,here is comfort from God.

Verse 2-12:Speaks of the trials and afflictions of  a Christian and their duty and grace towards those trials and afflictions.These are characteristics we must possess during a trial.
There is a Christian faith called "JOY".No one believeing and trusting N God should ever be sad,sunken or depressed.When goin thru ur trials U must have a determination to hold to your faith(THICK BELIEF IN THE WORD OF GOD AND CHRISTIANITY) and indure those trials with joy.You must also have patience.And you must let that patience do what it do,U must wait and it will work the work. Then U must B prayerful.Pray for wisdom most of all.2 B wise while goin thru would B a special gift from God.God has everything U need and is very liberal N HIS giving.Just make sure there is no waivering or doubting in your trust N HIM.You must be sincere in your intentions and have a a steady mind.If your back and forth in your trust,most likely the favor of God is gonna pass you by.There is nothing that we can go thru that should prevent us from rejoicing N the Lord.Steadfastness during a trial brings blessings.The christian who is tried and makes it thru shall B a crowned Christian and recieve the Crown of Life.This crown is a promise from God to the ones who keep the love of God ruling N their hearts.

Verses 13-18:God is not the blame for any man's sin.Man only has himself to blame.God cannot b tempted with evil nor  does he tempt any man.Its bad 2 sin,but its worse to blame God 4 ya sin.Evil lies within out hearts bcuz we have been born n2 it.Sin festers in our hearts and then it is concieved n2 action.Sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.first your soul dies then the body.We have to be busy giving God the title of author and finisher of everything good.HE IS UNCHANGEABLE,HE IS THE FATHER OF LIGHTS,REASONING LIGHTS,LEARNNG LIGHTS,LIGHTS OF DIVINE REVELATION.So we are new creatures and everything good that we have and that we are has come from GOD.WE ARE the first fruits of God's creations.

Verses 19-27:What is required of us? Be restrained,B ready 2 hear and take heed to the teachings of God's word and apply it to the trials and afflictions.
We must be quick to hear reason and truth from all sides.SLOW TO SPEAK,and when we do speak,we must be slow to anger. Man's anger stands opposite of the truth of God bcause God is love.If your bursting out in anger and sweltering in anger it shows you dont really really know God @all.
Not only anger we have to lay aside corruption in the heart,naughtiness,not just outward sin but our thoughts also.
ALL FILTHINESS!
PREPARING YOURSELF FOR THE WORD OF GOD........
HOW TO HEAR IT:
Recieve it with meekness.Be willing to hear our faults patiently and thankfully.
BE YE DOERS OF IT:
The gospel of Jesus Christ equals LIBERTY.Those who heed and continue on in the word of God are and will B blessed.Not by talkin but by walkin.
Some religions are vain and empty and some are pure and approved by GOD.
Vain religions are full of show,and only speaks of the faults of others.
True religions are pure and undefiled,meaning one must have a Holy life and a giving heart.One must do everything as if N the presence of God.
