James 1:12          This message originally delivered on February 21, 1999 PM.          In this message, Kimber refers to the following quote from J.A. Motyer, from "The Message of James".  "Those who are prepared to use this life as an arena of endurance for Jesus' sake will find that an abundant life awaits them from the hand of God.  In this world, the onlooker might see them as sacrificing life, as having a wretched time, as missing out on real life.  They might be asked why they bother, why they do not opt-out and enjoy themselves a bit, and so on.  But they have chosen to endure for Christ and to live with their eyes on the life which he will give, crowning them with dignity, victory, happiness, and a reward in heaven.  But what attracts the reward is not their endurance, but the love for God which prompted it.
