Commandment 4.  Remember to Keep Faith connected to Works – That we may always have Rest in GOD.

2:14 Works follow Faith

 James stresses (Holy Spirit Led) Works must follow Faith (Instructions from GOD.) Paul warns against fleshly or religious works while James tells us what Spirit Led Works look like -

James 2:17–20

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:21-26 Abraham and Rahab are given as examples of faith led works.

James 3:1-8 Warns against the TONGUE and how it reveals our inner attitudes. Only The Spirit Led Believer can have and then give wisdom, knowledge, and faith.... 1Cor 12.

Commandment 5. Honor Your Father and Mother

 GOD is our Father and The Church is our Mother. Bless and curse not.

James 3:9–10

9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
