Our goal as Christians is not simply to go to heaven – it’s to become more like Christ on earth.  We need to strive to actively obey God’s commands, seeking to honor Him in all we say, think and do. If we’re going to be changed, we need to take a good hard look at our lives and evaluate where we need to be changed from the inside out.

 

In James 1:19-21, our author first explains that that 1) self-control is crucial to Christian obedience.  He then shows us that 2) human wrath does not achieve the righteousness of God.  The last verse of our text makes clear that 3) God wants us to have a right response to His Word.

 

In our quest for active obedience, we need to put aside our unrighteous anger.
