- Blessings of God come from above
- Wisdom
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
(In other words): Everything received to us comes from above and comes down from the Father, who is unchangeable. There is no shadow of turning with Gods word.
“Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:”
“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God”
“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.”
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
"For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:"
"For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was."
"But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain."
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
