James 1:22-25; 2:14-17, 21-24
δοῦλος : a person who is legally owned by someone else and whose entire livelihood and purpose was determined by their master.
δοῦλος can mean slave, servant, or bondservant.
A bondservant is a slave that has earned his freedom and chooses to remain in service to his master for the rest of his life instead of claiming the freedom he has earned.
When James identifies himself as a “slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ” we would do well to understand the definition of a bondservant … one who has decided to voluntarily serve his Master for life.
At one point, while Jesus was still alive, his brothers did not believe that he was the Messiah.
Let’s consider two other passages as we consider the authorship of this book.
How do we know if we can claim the title “slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ?” Can we claim to be a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ?
