James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
As we should well know all things come from God because God owns all things and He gives all good and perfect gifts to anyone who believes and ask of Him. God is the same, today, yesterday, and forever. God does not change. God is the source of all Light. Jesus called Himself the Light of the world. The Light is so bright there is no shadow where God is. God of His own will created us to be like Him in truth and in deed. All the redeemed are God’s first fruits in that they are the first step in God’s redemption of all creation. James says, listen and don’t talk too much. Usually if we listen carefully to what someone is saying, before we speak, we will not get angry. We can use the word anger or wrath cause we know anger is not good and we usually are not on our best behavior which means we are not Godly or righteous. We are to put away those things that could lead us away from God. It is the Word of God, Jesus Christ, who saves our soul. This is speaking of being so full of Jesus and His Word that we will have His Word implanted in our inner-most being. Our heart will be stayed upon God and His Word, and that will cause us to live the way we should.
