Today we start the book of James but before we get into the book itself here is a quick overview of the book.
The book of James in the Bible is written by James Jesus' half-brother written about 48-49 A.D.
This book of the Bible is found in the New Testament.
The book of James is written about how to be a Christian with genuine faith in our lives.
This book was written to encourage the Jews who were Christians to walk in faith and be bold for Jesus.
They were being persecuted for their faith in Jesus and this book encourages them to endure for Christ.
In my research, the book of James is to resemble that of the Old Testament book of Proverbs.
Proverbs was a book of the Bible that was to teach wisdom to God's people.
This book resembles the books of the Jews most out of all the other books in the New Testament.
Dear God
As we go through James show us what you have for us
Help us to understand the book of James and all it has for us
Be with us and protect us from all evil as we go through this book of the Bible
In Jesus Name
Amen
So, erase all you know about James, and let's look with a fresh set of eyes and minds again or if you never read it for the first time.
