As Christians, we are to pursue unity and maturity, but where do we get the strength to do these things? Ephesians 4 tells us that Christ is a Victorious King who gives his beloved subjects all that they need to be successful and pleasing to him.

We have all said things that we wish we could take back. Why is it that we so easily say things that are so destructive? James offers a timeless observation of how our speech is an indicator of our heart. When we see how easily we sin in our speech, we are shown explicitly how needy we are for the good news of Jesus Christ. Only the blood of Christ can pardon our sins of speech.

There are many claims to faith in our world. People will specifically claim to believe in God. But how do we know if their claim means anything? How is it clear that the object of their faith is able to change their lives? We can only know this if we see their faith-claim 'staked out'. We have to see how their faith is expressed in deeds. Good works are the visible proof of a true spiritual claim to faith in Jesus Christ. On this matter, James does not disagree with Paul. True faith always works.
