MacArthur Bible Studies: James
Overview
In fierce opposition to their ungodly rationalization for sin, James gives five proofs that God is not responsible for our temptations or for our succumbing to sin. He does so by explaining the nature of evil, the nature of man, the nature of lust, the nature of God, and the nature of regeneration. This insightful study will help bring spiritual peace to your stressful world.
Top Highlights
“The genuineness of a profession of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is evidenced more by what a person does than by what he claims. A person who professes Christ but who does not live a Christ-honoring, Christ-obeying life is a fraud.” (Page 44)
“Hebrews especially understood that true wisdom is not intellectual, but behavioral. Thus the biggest fool was one who knew truth and failed to apply it. To the Jews, wisdom was skill in living righteously.” (Page 70)
“lust—it is different for each person as a result of inherited tendencies, environment, upbringing, and personal choices” (Page 19)
“much richer meaning of skillfully applying knowledge to the matter of practical living” (Page 71)
“The truth that James emphasizes in this text and that the Word of God teaches throughout is that what we do reveals who we are.” (Page 44)
