James 1:2–4 (ESV) — 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
I. THINKING BIBLICALLY
James 1:2 (ESV) — 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds…
James is commending the conscious embrace of a Christian understanding of life which brings joy into the trials that come because of our Christianity.
James says, “Considerit pure joy,” which means to make a deliberate and careful decision to experience joy even in times of trouble.

Sinclair Ferguson says, “Biblical accounting means we see the parts in the light of the whole.”
