The book of .Tames was written to
Jewish Christians scattered abroad
who were -passing through sore trials,
and persecutions. The pre-cftnlnent
aim was to show these humble be
lievers how to live ; ln such trying,
times. James recognized the difficul
ties of Christian living resulting from
the attitude of the unbelieving Jews,
and knew also..fhe added difficulties of
pride, Jealousy and cowardly compro
mises which might spring np within.
He showed that all these must be met
with the realities which Inhere In-fhe
religion of Jesus Christ.
I. Receiving the Engrafted Word.
<w. 10-21).
1. What Is the Engrafted Word?
“Engrafted” means implanted. In
verse 18 he speaks of having been be
gotten by the Word. The figure la
that of a -planting of the seeds of
truths TliV Christian doctrines as con
tained Jn the. Word, when quickened
by the Holy Spirit result In regenera
tion. The divine metliod of regenera
tion is the preaching of God’s word
made living and active by the Holy
Spirit.
2. How the Word Is Received (v.
19). *
(1) “Be swift to hear.” This means
to be ready and eager to use every op
portunity to get acquainted with God’s
word.
Obedience, to this Injunction will
make one diligent In the reading of
the Bible, and In attendance at thq
church services where, the Word of
God is beiqg taught.
(2) “Slow to speak.” From what
follows we Infer that this refers to re
ligious controversies. It means that
whether In the places of worship or
in whatever circumstances, we should
give respect and thoughtful attention
♦ o what onr Christian brethren are
saying. \ .
(3) “Slow to wratV’ Heated discus
sions sometimes develop In our con
ferences, even when we gather to con
sider the doctrines of God> word.
Sometimes one may even fancy that
anger liTjustiflable. In such cases we
should remember the injunction, be
slow to wrath. • ■
3. The Reason for Receiving the
Word (vv. 20-21).
‘The wrath of man worketh not the
righteousness of God.” Angry debat
ing among Christians never helped to
gpake known God’s righteousness.
Man’s anger springs out of the foun
tain of hls depravity. Therefore Jta
expression cah" only have a blighting
effect upon {Jiose who listen, and even
upon the speaker In Its reaction upon
him. , -
II. Coming Into Self-Knowledge (w.
22-25).
Receiving the engrafted Word
through swiftness to hear, and'^ebey-
Ing Its holy precepts will result In
that experimental knowledge of one’s
self which brings true blessings. By
"doers of the Word,” Is meant those
who make obedience their habitual at
titude. . '
The truths of God’s wnrd-wtii per
meate their very life and be expressed
In everything they do and. say. Those
who hear and do not obey are self-
deceived. Those who go through the
form of religion without coming under
Its power are likened to Jib’n who
gaze Into the mirror beholding the
natural face, and then go away and
forget how they look.
III. Purs Religion (▼▼. 2fl-2p.
fcTiis means that those who have be
come doers of the Word will in thHr
outer lives manifest the following
traits;:
1. Bridling the Tongue (v. 26).
This means that they will speak
with discretion. God gave man two
ears and but one tongue. .The ears
are exposed, but the tongue Is walled
In by the .teeth. Just as the tongue
,reveals the condition of the physical
system, so t,he use of the tongue re
veals the religious condition.
2. Sympathizing With and Helping
•Those In Need (v. 27);
* The^wldow and orphan are the aym-
explained A1 mee! who bftl » of Mplessness and need. Those
who have trne piety will vlalt sneh
and tender the necessary aid.
3/Keeplng Himself Unspotted From
the World (v! 27). \

separate himself from the worid. <
