What is the subject of James book?
Since James was writing to Christian believers, he did not intend to proclaim the gospel message, because his readers had already trusted in Christ as their Savior. Therefore, in the first chapter of the epistle, James introduced believers to the subject of his letter, which is the testing of a Christian’s faith, for the purpose of bringing that faith to maturity. James’ desire for his Christian readers was that they would exercise their faith through obedience to the implanted Word, so that their faith would become profitable for themselves and for others. Simply put, James’ exhortation to his Christian readers was, “Fulfill your faith!” He sought to encourage them–and us–to work out all the potential good that is in the faith that God has given us, that He would be glorified and the body of Christ would be edified. How did James define the word “save” in his epistle? James used the word save five times in his epistle. The first place the word occurs is in 1:21–“Therefore lay aside
