James 5:12 A study of the Epistle of James I Swear! James 5:12 A study of the Epistle of James

The Spiritually Mature speak truthfully and live with integrity. Spiritual Life Principle:

They have no need to utter oaths. Swearing & Oaths: done out of frustration and angst done to affirm a truth or declare something. Lev. 19:12, “Don’t swear falsely by the Name of the LORD and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.”

They have no need to utter oaths. Philo: Would you ask a good friend to testify to a lie? Why then invoke God to? The Spiritually Mature do not need to “prop up” their words because they are confident in their standing.

Their Word is their bond. 1801 Maritime brokers motto: “Dictum Meum Pactum,” My word is my bond. Simple honesty = A clear conscience. YET, Swearing & Oaths is not forbidden: Romans 1:9, “God is my witness…”

Their Word is their bond. A Clear Conscience is King. At least 32 times in the NT alone the idea of keeping a clear conscience is presented. For the Apostles it was paramount: 2 Cor. 1:12; 1 Tim. 1:5; 1 Peter 3:16. The Spiritually Mature person seeks to live, love and serve from a clear conscience.

They live with humility before God. Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O man, what is good and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God.”

They live with humility before God. The Spiritually Mature understand that walking in integrity means walking in humility with God. Or it means facing God’s condemnation. Colossians 3:9, “Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds.”

Spiritual Life Principle Application: I walk in the integrity of my heart before all men. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 I speak truth letting my yes be yes and no be no. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Spiritual Life Principle Application: The Spirit of God and my conscience have brought up something I need to deal with. YES NO I resolve right now before God to right what he has brought to mind. YES NO
