James 1: 2 Commentary

Phillip M. Brown (Post #1): What is the dominant message of James 1:2-4, 1 Sam. 17:33-35; Jeremiah 12:5?

Learn and apply God’s Word daily to experience.
________________

Believers should consider the various pressures of life all joy. Without pressures and patience to endure them no one can become spiritually mature. Pressures and patience help believers grow into mature Christian warriors or soldiers who lack nothing.

Believers learn to apply God’s Word to experience by first passing basic tests. Successfully passing basic tests builds confidence. Confidence motivates believers to fight the good fight of faith bravely and fearlessly in much greater battles.

Believers who cannot pass basic tests cannot pass difficult tests. The infantry foot soldier who exhausts quickly while training in peacetime battle drills pictures the believer not yet fully developed.

So, learning how to apply God’s Word to experience is necessary for success in the Devil’s world. It lessens casualty risk.

THE PROMINENT (DOMINATE) MESSAGE OF JAMES 1:2-4 TOGETHER WITH 2 OTHER VERSES BELOW:

James 1 verses
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

1 Samuel 17 verses:
33And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

Jeremiah12: 5If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
