INTRODUCTION
James is writing to Jewish Christians – a group of people who have lost their homes. Their being persecuted and even where they’re ending up, there still running into all sorts of problems. But the book of James is a powerhouse of faith – calling them to have joy in the midst of their troubles.  
James was written as a guide to help these Jewish Christians navigate and flourish among cultures with completely different social norms and beliefs than those that existed in Israel. It’s applicable in today’s world where social norms and beliefs often differ than those of Christianity. And we ourselves, like those early Christians, can consider it all joy though our circumstances may seem bleak.

Did You Know God Loves to Showcase His Mercy?

How would we live our lives if we truly understood that our purpose is to love Him and to love His reflection in our neighbors? The truth is we are chosen, loved, welcomed, counted holy and blameless because of what Christ accomplished on the cross for us. Jesus said “It is finished” (John 19:30) and He alone paid the price for us to be received by His Father in eternity.
