James, the Just, Jesus’ brother, contributed a book of wisdom for the New Testament canon. It was written as a guide for Christians to live Godly lives and not wander from the truth.
James was Jesus’ younger brother. Yes, Mary had other children. The proof is in the scriptures and I covered that in this article. James was also the leader of the church in Jerusalem (not Peter). He’s writing to the Jewish believers who have scattered all over because of the persecution of the church described in Acts. In fact, Paul was one of the persecutors, known as Saul at the time. So, James felt that he needed to write them to give them encouragement. Let’s dig in….

How James Died as a Christian Martyr
Are You Following the Truth?
If you’re not sure if you’re saved or not, if you truly want to be born again and have the assurance of salvation, receive the Holy Spirit, feel His Shalom — a peace that surpasses all understanding, and get a 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven after you die, or that you won’t be left behind at the Rapture, which can happen at any moment, this is what you have to do…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
- Believe — have Faith — that Jesus is the Christ and He died taking your sins away forever and that He rose from the dead 3 days later.
- Repent of your sins — stop sinning! Do a complete 180-degree turn in your life and surrender your life to Him. When you ask Jesus to forgive you He will. ALL your sins will be wiped clean — past, present, and future! And All means ALL!
- Be Baptized by water baptism — show the world and yourself that you have died to your old life and are born again in Christ.
- Receive the gift of Holy Spirit in your heart.
