NEW LIFE LESSONS BSFBP: James 1:2-8

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing . 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering . For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed . 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

OBSERVATION QUESTIONS:
1) How are believers to respond when we “fall into various trials”? (v.2)?
2) What does this “testing of your faith” produce (v.3)?
3) What are the three benefits if we “let patience have its perfect work” (v.4)?
4) What are believers to do if we lack wisdom during a test or trial (v.5)?
5) What must believers demonstrate, without doubting (v.6)?
6) What is likely to happen if we doubt (v.7)?
7) What becomes of the double minded man (v. 8)?

2) What have been the blessings of the tests and/or trials that you have endured? Why?
3) Have you ever lacked wisdom concerning a trial or test?
