       He or she is one who is first impure, then sows disharmony, harsh, unreasonable, full of judgement and bad fruits, biased and counterfeit. That gives us a clear picture I think of what we aren’t to be like. Which person matches our current characteristics better? Is it the person James talks about, or is it the bad person? Perhaps there is a mixture both. Either way, James tells us here what we are to be like. Pure wisdom is that wisdom which does not contain any aspects of this world—any worldly philosophy that does not align with Jesus. If we take the truth and change it, or disregard it, we no longer have true wisdom. We have our version of what we think is right, rather than leaving that up to God. Indeed, he has told us of his wisdom in the Bible. That’s one reason it’s important for us to be familiar with our Bibles so that we know what God is excepting from us, as Christians.
