In James 1, we’ve seen what it looks like to live with Christ in a difficult world. In Him, we can face our trials with joy and temptations with power, but only as we live according to the Word of God, our source for wisdom. Accordingly, we must be doers and not only hearers of that word. But before we start “doing,” there’s one more foundational truth we must first understand. This week, James begins to teach us what it looks like to be “doers of the word.” While the next four chapters in this book will explain in detail how to apply the truth of Scripture to life, James spends the final verses in chapter one explaining the heart that is the foundation for our doing.
