James

by Ron Bontrager

Overview

James is an exciting little book written in the first century, filled with information very helpful to the church of today. Warren Wiersbe in his book entitled Be Mature wrote that “not everybody who grows old, grows up.” There is a vast difference between age and maturity. Ideally, the older Christians are, the more mature they become. Too often the ideal does not become the reality and the result is problems: problems in personal lives, in homes, and in churches.
James was written to help Christians to understand spiritual maturity. In the latter part of James 1:4 he wrote: “that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything.” J. B. Philips in his translation of the New Testament wrote: “And you will find you have become men of mature character. Men of integrity with no weak spots.” Christians should want to grow in the image of Christ, to be mature in Him. James is a book that can help them to do that very thing. May God bless the reader of James to reach the goal of maturity
