JAMES // Week 5 // KNOW AND DO

James teaches that the Christian life requires both knowing and doing God’s Word—like two pedals on a bike. We begin by remembering we are God’s beloved, saved and transformed by His implanted Word. But knowledge alone is not enough; true faith shows itself in obedience. Real religion means controlling our words, caring for the vulnerable, and staying unstained by the world. Though sin leaves us filthy, Jesus takes our rags and gives us His righteousness. Because of His love, we live out the Word with both understanding and action.
