Han Ki-chae: Reading the Book of James with Life

The book of James tells us how Christians living today should live. James is a book that, by the wisdom of the New Testament, teaches Christians the specific wisdom of life. In fact, ethics is the wisdom of life, and the book of James is the first Christian ethic. There are practical lessons in patience, prayer, poverty and riches, speech and works, discrimination, the lesson of words, wisdom from above, holiness of heart, slander, vain boasting, patience and prayer, prayers of faith. James sends a message to those who know the truth but do not practice it properly. Our faith emphasizes that we should be proved by our actions and our lives, not by words, not knowledge. This message is equally relevant to us now living in this age. Let us meditate deeply on the Word of James in this book and see what James called ‘ Christian living. ’. “If the good influence of Christians is not being exercised in spite of the many Christians who believe in God on this earth, we need to re-inform our faith. It's probably because there's no work involved in fully believing. Because faith has not been made alive. While we must be on guard against the presumption of the Law or formalism that emphasizes works above faith, we should take to heart the teachings of James, reflecting on our lives, whether we are living as Christians in the flesh or in the face of words. Our faith must be demonstrated not only in the church, but also in our homes, our jobs and our communities.
