**AMAZING TRESURES IN THE BOOK OF JAMES**
James 1:17,18; 22-25: Every good and perfect gift is **FROM ABOVE**, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the **WORD OF TRUTH**... Do not merely listen to the **WORD**, and so deceive yourselves. **DO WHAT IT SAYS**. Anyone who listens to the **WORD** but does not do what it says, is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man **LOOKS INTENTLY** into the perfect word that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does!
James 2: 20-22: Do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his **FAITH** and his **ACTIONS** were **WORKING TOGETHER**, and his faith was made complete by what he did!
James 3:17,18: The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure, then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness!
James 4:6-10: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble! Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.... Humble yourselves before the Lord, and **HE WILL LIFT YOU UP**!!
James 4:13-17: Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow... Instead you ought to say, "If it is the **LORD'S WILL** we will live and do this or that." As it is , you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins!!
And so God's faithful chosen saints should **READ GOD'S WORD DAILY** {Acts 17:11} and then **DO WHAT IT SAYS**(James 1:22}
**AMAZING TREASURES IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS**
Hebrews 1:1-3: In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through Whom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His **POWERFUL WORD**. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Hebrews 4:12: For the **WORD OF GOD** is living and active. Sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to the dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:13,16: Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account!.... Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need!
Hebrews 7:18: The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God!
Hebrews 8:7,8: For if there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said, "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a **NEW COVENANT**!!"
Hebrews 8:13: By calling this **COVENANT NEW** He has made the first one **OBSOLETE**, and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear!!{Probably in AD 96 when the last book of the New Covenant was inspired and the other 26 books of the New Covenant were distributed to most of the churches!--See Revelation 22:16-19}
Hebrews 9:22; 26-28: The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood **THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS**.... But now He has appeared **ONCE FOR ALL** at the end of the ages to do away with sin **BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF**!! Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, and Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him!!
Hebrews 10:8-10: First He said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor were You pleased with them," although the law required them to be made. Then He said, "Here I am, I have come to do Your will." He sets aside the first **TO ESTABLISH THE SECOND**. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ **ONCE FOR ALL**
Hebrews 11:1-3,6: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible!... And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him!!
