James started his letter to the Christians who were scattered by giving them instruction on how to live victoriously in the face of trials. He returns to that message as he concludes the letter.
He presents two basic things in conclusion as the way we have victory in our living. We must live with patience and faith.
- Patience in daily living
- Looking forward to the rewards Christ will give at His coming
- Following the example of the patriarchs
- Jeremiah knew his message would not be heeded
- Job was a man of patience
- Hosea had trials because he married a harlot
- Faith for daily living
- What faith can enable us to do
- suffering – pray
- cheerful – sing
- sick – call for the elders
- Power of prayer
- Receive the benefit of the brethren
- What faith can enable us to do
