James will take all of the ideas he has spoken about so far and move us to living out the wisdom that God has brought. You will see 2 different types of wisdom come to light: Wisdom from above and wisdom from below.
There is a long and protracted focus on our faith resulting in works in the book of James. The emphasis on works has caused some people to put the apostle Paul’s view of grace at odds with the views James, but nothing could be further from the truth. James is most likely the earliest letter written in the New Testament and as such show a strong pastoral care for how to live out our faith in Jesus in practical ways.
