How do I identify myself?
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.
James 1:1 (ESV)
James is a simple, logical book that is easy to understand and apply. Within this book, more than 50 imperatives in 108 verses should cause you to pause and think about how you use the truth you know in your everyday life.
I like asking questions while I read, such as these: “How did they know that?” Or, “How does knowing this change how I live?” Or, “What would it mean if I learned and applied this principle to my life?”
Reading and meditating on the book of James might be a time-consuming task that may end up being one of the most critical investments you would ever make.
One of the first thoughts I have at the beginning of this book is the way James (and other apostles) identify himself as a "servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ." He knew servanthood and considered it a privilege to be in that position.
How do I (you) identify myself (yourself)? Why?
