HARD EVIDENCE
February/March 2008
Unlike the apostle Paul, James was no urbane man of letters. He was a simple, homespun preacher, perturbed at people who were not living right. His letter covers a wide range of topics, applying the Christian faith to specific problems, and commanding readers to live out their beliefs.
Be humble! James orders. Submit to God! Stop sinning! James is as forthright as an Old Testament prophet; it is hard to miss his point.
Modern readers of James face the same dilemma as the first recipients of this unsettling letter. His words are easy enough to understand, but hard to do. James gives us a hard word that calls for hard evidence. He asks the tough question, "What kind of evidence can be seen in our spiritual lives?"
As Luther himself said, "You are saved by faith alone, but if faith is alone, it is not faith."
