He willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures!
Blessed is he who perseveres in temptation,
for when he has been proven he will receive the crown of life
that he promised to those who love him.
No one experiencing temptation should say,
"I am being tempted by God";
for God is not subject to temptation to evil,
and he himself tempts no one.
Rather, each person is tempted when lured and enticed by his desire.
Then desire conceives and brings forth sin,
and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers and sisters:
all good giving and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change.
He willed to give us birth by the word of truth
that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
~James 1:12-18
God willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures! Blessed is he who perseveres in temptation, for when he has been proven he will receive the crown of life that he promised to those who love him. Do you love God? Do you want to please Him? Or are you a slave for Satan instead of following Jesus? Falling for things and sins of this world, putting all of that first instead of what God wants for us, to follow Jesus, to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! With great faith, when we follow Jesus we are promised life eternal in Heaven with Him! Do not fall for the tricks of Satan to sin and do evil like Adam and Eve did, we have choices, we can follow God or evil! So many sin today, not one wants you to judge them, talk about sin, or they come up with so many excuses for sin and hate, trying to justify it all as if sin is acceptable. What will you do? And if you did sin and repent, you still have a chance to follow Jesus and be saved! What are your desires? Who are you following? Will you make getting into Heaven you number one priority?
