내게 주는 교훈

What lesson is God teaching me?

v. 1 Do you always try to teach others because you know a bit more about the Bible than others? Remember that those who teach will also be judged.

v. 2 Those who do not make mistakes in speaking are sound people. Christians should reflect Christ’ perfection in their speech.

vv. 3-8 The tongue is a small part of the body but can have powerful influence. James says that the destruction caused by the tongue can cause immense injuries to a person just as if “set on fire by hell. ” But how careless are we and how thoughtlessly do we use our tongues? Are you ever prideful so that you try to lift yourself up and put others down with your words? Let us examine if our tongues are governed by the word today. Do not fall into the sin of speaking carelessly and taking no responsibility for the words you have spoken.

vv. 9-12 Praise and curses cannot come out from the same mouth of believers. If we lift praises up to God but speak against our brothers and sisters then we must reexamine who we belong to. James tells us that if we are truly in God, we cannot curse against our brothers and sisters.

기도

May the center of my heart be filled with God’s grace so that I become a sound person who does not make mistakes in my words.
