James 4:5 - 5:20

James
JamesSteve Gregg

James warns against the dangers of loving the world and pursuing worldly objectives, as it is a form of spiritual adultery. He advises Christians to resist the temptations of the devil and draw near to God, reminding them that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. James also urges believers to be patient in afflictions and to call upon the elders of the church for prayer and healing, while confessing their faults and praying for one another.
