       With a negative mindset, how can one really succeed? We can’t persevere. We come to the Bible and immediately become discouraged by what it has to say because we are so negative. Why, the person cannot even get past themselves. They are not in control of their lives. Their lives have them by the horns, and they are just a continual victim to what hands they are dealt. Thus, a sense of freedom in living as God wants us to live is absent. The Law of Liberty, yes, that’s what James is talking about here. Recognizing God’s truth brings us freedom. That’s the bottom line. Some folks think that the Bible actually restricts. Those kinds of people see it as a large manual of rules and regulations, like something that you would read at your place of work. Just one restriction after another. This is restricted and that is restricted. It’s just a bunch of don’ts. Don’t do this and don’t do that. So, the Bible, which is meant to bring freedom for all people, actually then is seen as enslaving those who adhere to it. If this is your view, however, you are missing the whole point.
