Selfish (James 4:1-3) | Nathan Yovichin

In James 4:1-3, we study the root of quarrels and fights—our selfish desires. Believers are still encased in sinful flesh but have been born again by the Spirit and given new desires. The believer can resist and have victory over sin through the Spirit. Believers can also look to Christ’s example when facing temptation. Believers must copy Christ’s example of reliance on God’s Word and prayer. Christians can grow in aligning their desires with God’s through regular and rightful prayer.
