The Importance of Spiritual Health A Study in the Book of James

Why would James have to write to the church about Spiritual Health?

JAMES 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.

James was writing to them because he was concerned about the health of the church he was over

JAMES 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 

We will face trials What are trials? Trials here is the Greek word “peirasmoi” and refers to persecution and trials from the world or Satan.

We will face trials What are trials? How are we supposed to face them? What are they supposed to accomplish?

We face these things so that we may become mature in our faith

What do all these trials do for us? They help us bear fruit!
