That ye may be perfect and entire

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (Jas 1:5-8)
    We now move into a journey through the book of James, written by the brother of our Lord, Jesus Christ. James was not a believer in Christ during His earthly ministry, but as we see in Acts and then through this book, He was a leader in the early church.

     We can either get the wisdom of this world, which is transitory, built on shifting sands, and often mixed with half-truths and outright lies, or we can get the wisdom which is from above: pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. The wisdom that GOD gives begins with the fear of the Lord, then understanding comes through His Spirit and His Word, and finally as we see this world through our experience of Him and the Truth He imparts. We can trust He will guide us into all Truth and the inspiration of the Almighty will give us understanding.

      He gives wisdom, through His Spirit and His Word to all who seek it, to all who ask in faith, believing they will receive, and to all who trust Him and His wisdom to understand what we see and experience around us. He does not chastise His children for asking, just for doubting Him and His Word. He does not upbraid His children for honest questions and the desire to understand, just for disobedience to what He has told us to do with what He say. We are to grow up into His image and into the full measure of Him with whom we have to do.

     His church is to take the wisdom of GOD, the Word of reconciliation, as His ambassadors in ministry, missions, and discipleship as we evangelize this lost and dying world. We minister to those around us who are hurting and in need, that they might be comforted and for those who don't know Him thy might come to know Jesus Christ through us and His Word. We love one another in fellowship and worship of our King as we disciple one another in His Word and grow together, equipped and encouraged to the work He has for us to do. We witness of Him and His wondrous works as we go with the Gospel of Jesus Christ from His Word in the power and at the direction of the Holy Spirit. As we go, we proclaim the Good News of forgiveness through repentance of our sin, and reconciliation with the Father through faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, that those who repent and believe might have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
