Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be boastful and false to the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish. For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace. (James 3: 13-18, NRSV)
Who among us is wise?
We should show our good works and our life that is reflecting of the love that God first showed to us. Not for what we get, or the attention or the notoriety, or anything like that…
If there is any selfishness within us that leads us to do something good, then it is not done for the right reasons.
Disorder and wickedness have no place in us.
So who is wise?
The one who follows after Jesus and does what they do in good works, not for selfish gain but because Jesus first loved them.
Sow your works in peace and peace will be the harvest that you reap!
