The Corrective: Hear and Do- (James 1:19-27)- Which Leads to Success, being. Hearer or a Doer???

Good morning. Great is His faithfulness.

Greek word of the day- †διακαθαρίζω diakatharízō, dee-ak-ath-ar-id'-zo; from G1223 and G2511; to cleanse perfectly, i.e. (specially) winnow:—thoroughly purge.

Mat 3:12

“His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

James 1:19-27- "The Corrective: Hear and Do"

See vv. 19-20: "THE WRATH OF MAN" is unjust, ungracious and severe. This wrath comes from uncontrolled anger, and not from God's judgement. For us all to be able to discern "THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD" this requires patience, graciousness, and for us all to have controlled passions, responding to circumstances with godly responses.

We see in v. 25: St. James- is taking the Jewish notion of freedom- that notion was obedience to the Law- and it also applies to Christ"s law, His commandment to love others as He loved us. See James 2:8:" If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well;"

See vv. 26-27: We see here in scripture we are given three examples of the relationship between faith and works: (1): "MASTERY OVER SPEECH"- (2): "MINISTRY TO THE NEEDY"- (3): "MORAL PURITY IN THOUGHT AND DEED"

"Do not let the widows be neglected; after the Lord, you must be their guardian." (Ignatius of Antioch).

Numbers 6:24-26

“The Lord bless you and keep you;

25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,

And be gracious to you;

26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you,

And give you peace.” ’
