Final Exam The Epistle of James has impact my life spiritually. James influenced my walk with Christ. I am able to help other Christians on how to endure and trust God in the midst of adversity. James recognized that the church of today is facing some of the same issues that the early church faced. I learned that the church today is combated with pride, discrimination, greed, lust, hypocrisy, worldliness, and backbiting. James believed that "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:26), and that our mere profession of faith is not enough. We have to walk by faith and not by sight.

We are to continue to add to our Christian virtues the gift of knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and love (2nd Peter 1:5 -7). Our practice of Christian virtues always increases spiritual insight, and without this spiritual insight, we will lack a sense of direction (2nd Peter 1:8
