Epistle
Of James
No
doubt, the epostle of James is the most
practical book in the New Testament.
It is rightly consider the Proverbs of
the New Testament. The
epistle of James was likely the first
New Testament book written. The
emphasis is "faith that is
practical." James does not
teach salvation by faith and works; he
teaches faith that does work. The
key verse of James is chapter one verse
seventeen. our very existence
hinges on the reality and reliability of
that powerful verse. Simply put:
James says what he means and means
what he says.
