| The revelation that God has given to the apostles, the testimony of the Holy Spirit through Scripture itself, the testimony of the Holy Spirit in the heart of every follower of Christ, rational (sane) thought, scientific method, and any other measure other than the creative rationalizations (insane stories) of the skeptics, all confirm the historical, material, and spiritual accuracy of every part of Scripture from the very beginning of Genesis to the very end of Revelation. |
James, the Lord's brother, shows how grace produces works that demonstrate that faith exists.
1. God's purpose in tests and temptations--wisdom--the problem of the double mind: mixing direction from God with direction from the fleshly mind, the source of temptation--faith obeys
2. faith directs away from showing partiality--faith has works that actually help others--faith without works is dead
3. not too many teachers--the power of the tongue to steer our course in life: the tongue is a fire, but faith can control the tongue--wisdom from above (also see 1 Cor. 1:31)
4. God's direction that results in faith will avoid conflicts among believers, but the mind directed by the flesh will cause desires that lead to sin--the answer: draw near to God and depend on Him in humility
5. the rich and the poor--patient waiting for God to move--the elders authority over sickness: anoint with oil, lay on hands, pray
