Godly wisdom is another test to determine if we are genuinely in the faith. We all reap what we sow. Some of us are reaping havoc by the ungodly wisdom we have sown. Others of us are reaping a righteous harvest by the godly wisdom we have sown. What about you?
Some may have an erroneous idea of worldliness. Some might say worldliness is going to movies, watching television, having a tattoo, wearing too much jewelry or flashy clothes and so on. James, however, approaches the matter of worldliness differently.
Does your life reflect a complete devotion to God? What would that look like? How would I know if I fell short? James helps us examine ourselves in the light of our test against Worldliness.
Perhaps you are convicted of this terrible sin of slander and judging others. You might say, “What do I need to do?” Repent of course, but perhaps you need to get to the root of the problem. James helps us do just that as he teaches again on the danger of our words.
