James 1:1-26
Actual Audio Message from Pastor Edwin Locsin (language is in Cebuano)
Problems Experienced by Christians
- persecutions
- poverty, etc.
*Happiness in times of negative circumstances
Signs of a Joyful Man
1. Pure Joy to encounter trials
-v2 "consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds
-v3 because you know that the testing of your faith DEVELOPS PERSEVERANCE
-v4 so that you may be MATURE, COMPLETE, and NOT LACKING ANYTHING."
-trials work for us and not against us
- the only way God can develop patience in us is through trials
2. Perseverance under trials
Rewards under trials
- builds character
- God is glorified
- receive the crown of life
3. Putting God's word into practice
- do not merely listen to the word, we must do what it says
