He was genuinely pious and godly, and he obviously possessed great human wisdom. His epistle was perhaps the most practical in the New Testament in terms of Christian perfection. But as we have seen repeatedly in this current life-study of the book of James, when we compared his writing with that of the other New Testament writers, it becomes quite clear that for all his virtue and piety, James lacked a clear view of God&#8217;s goal and God&#8217;s way. A goal and a way that Paul described as God&#8217;s economy. All we need to do is consider how each of these two important figures in the New Testament present the matter of wisdom. In James 1:5 he said, &#8220;<em>But if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and does not reproach, and it will be given to him<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"James (Program #7)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-09-11T06:20:50-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"James (Program #7) - Practical Virtues of Christian Perfection (7)\r\n\r\nThe Apostle James was a man of tremendous Christian character and virtue.
