James has written in his letter that genuine faith is proven in righteous actions through: enduring trial and tests, being quick to hear and slow to be angry, remaining morally pure in a polluted world, obeying God’s Word not just hearing it, treating people with equality, avoiding favoritism, caring for orphans and widows, keeping the tongue from speaking evil, submitting to God and resisting the devil, being honest and fair with money, being truthful and praying in faith. The genuine Biblical faith that James teaches builds Christlike character in our lives and works to bring glory to God’s name.
