@Livingwater Study3B...Implanted Word of God James 1:18-25 Last time we were able to do a thorough study on the Implanted word of God,His benefits,blessings that back it up....we will continue on the same study. The word of God as a mirror.take your time and go through,it has the ability to change and transform your life.God bless you. 4 . We are to come to the Word of God and use it as a mirror to show us our true state ; then we are to adjust our lives accordingly In verses 23-25 James uses an interesting simile. It is of a man looking at his face in a mirror; he sees that it is dirty, but he does nothing about it. He might just as well have not looked into the mirror. What should we do then? How should we use God’’s Word as a mirror? We should peer into it, as we see from the meaning of the words in verses 23-25. We should look at ourselves in the mirror of the Word, not casually, but with a view to seeing our true state –- because we can only see our face with the help of

Study 3A..It is significant that in his letter James includes a section about the nature of God’’s Word, and the way in which believers are to use it each day. It is impossible to live a life that is well-pleasing to the Lord unless we know how to use our Bible properly.

@Livingwater Study 3A ACCEPTING THE IMPLANTED WORD THE LETTER OF JAMES Scripture Portion: James 1:18-25 It is significant that in his letter James includes a section about the nature of God’’s Word, and the way in which believers are to use it each day. It is impossible to live a life that is well-pleasing to the Lord unless we know how to use our Bible properly. Carefully study James 1:18-25 and notice the following:- 1 . Three ways in which James describes the Word of God (1) ““The word of truth”” (verse 18). The definite article is here: the Bible is not ‘‘a’’ word but ‘’the’’ word of truth, which tells us that it stands alone; it is unique (Psalm 119:160), and compare Psalm 119:43; Ephesians 1:13; Colossians 1:5; 2 Timothy 2:15. The word of truth is the whole of God’’s verbal communication which has been given to man and which is now contained in the inspired canon of Scripture. (2) “”The word planted in you”” (verse 21). Notice the definite article again. There is only

Study2B... This wisdom is a gift which is obtained by prayer. Notice that James does not say, ‘‘If any man lacks wisdom let him go to the university, or let him sit down and think’’! True wisdom

@Livingwater Study 2B..True wisdom James 1:5-8.. We have been able to  looked upon the first and second point of this study,by the grace of God we have been able to know what the true wisdom is and also know may be we need it.after all these we shall continue to check  on how do we get this particular wisdom .what made it particular is the true added to it.that mean there are varieties of wisdom.God bless you as you study..... 3 . CAN WE HAVE IT ? Yes, we can! Notice that James says, “”If any of you…”…” The reference is to every Christian, or as verse 2 reminds us, to ““my brothers””, to those who are children in the family of God – look up John 1:11-13. Not only can we know that God wants us to be pure, holy and peaceable, but we can actually be like this. It is God’’s will that we should be so. We can have the heavenly wisdom, we can translate into our daily lives the truth we learn from God’’s word, so that our lives demonstrate the truth –- look up Titus 2:10. 4 . HOW CAN
