James calls his readers to live out their lives as a kind of first fruit of Gods creation and then gives great examples of what this looks like. As Christians today we to must receive the teaching of James and strive to be a delight (a kind of first fruit) first to God and then to those God brings into our lives.

James reminds us that if we are going to live out our calling as Christians we must do so under the wisdom that comes from God and not the wisdom gained by being in the world.
