Part 1 Q&A study guide

Read James 1:2-8: When James says “let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” what is he implying?

you have to be perfect to be patient.

when we put our trust in God and patiently wait for His resolution he grows our character.

when you achieve this patience in one situation you’ll no longer struggle with impatience again.

Correct! Wrong!

How should we understand joy, in the context of James 1:2 when the biblical author tells us to “count it all joy” when we face trials of many kinds?

God want’s me to be happy, going through trials isn’t God’s will.

Joy is an attitude of faith and hope in the person of Yeshua, not our outward circumstances, future outcomes, or anything external.

I can’t let people see my true emotions inside. I need to hide my emotions and put on a happy face so that I’m not bringing others down.

Correct! Wrong!
