James 1:5-8

What little we know about the formative years of Jesus are found Luke chapter 2. Luke writes, “And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him,” and also, “Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.” We too must seek to increase in wisdom and be filled with divine wisdom from above.

James 1:5-8

The epistle of James says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” The fool neither perceives his need for wisdom nor asks God for it – but the truly wise realize how much they lack wisdom, and beseech the Lord for the divine wisdom necessary for the formation of an effective Christian life.

1 John 5:1-5

Some believers and churches elevate the Christian virtue of love at the expense of truth and sound doctrine. Others trumpet the critical importance of truth while manifesting little genuine love. But a love that cares little for God’s truth is not genuine Christian love, and a truth that embraces sound doctrine but is dispassionate and unloving, is not genuine Christian truth.

The epistle of James cautions us that "Friendship with the world is enmity with God" – but too many Christians try to remain on friendly terms with it.
