Imagine saying nice things about God, but harsh words about people. It’s confusing, isn’t it? It highlights how important it is to live humbly and honestly. James warns us about the risks of jealousy and self-centered goals that can bring disorder and bad things. These are compared to the clean, peace-loving, and honest nature of wisdom from God. James’ book draws a line between just saying you believe and really having faith. It connects how we use our words with the idea of wisdom.
