We’re beginning the book of James, written by James the brother of Jesus. Writing to his Jewish kinsmen who are scattered abroad, this letter is largely focused on the practical outworkings of faith, answering the question: “What does faith look like when it is lived out?” In the opening chapter, James commends the church to rejoice in trials, for it will produce endurance in the faith. Furthermore, when life presents opportunities to act sinfully, no one should say that he is being tempted by God, because God doesn’t tempt anyone. He also warns his audience, not simply to hear to word of God but to put the word of God into practice.
