And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.

God bless my brothers of steemit.

"And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace."

These are the fruits of faith. There must be justice before there can be peace. Nobody can have peace, without justice. The psalmist of Psalm 85, verse 10 said that the day will come when peace and justice will be kissed. At present, we could say that in real life, peace and justice are not known; they would not even recognize each other.
Chapter 3 concludes the first major division of the Epistle of James, in which the apostle dealt with the general subject of the verification of genuine faith. There is a difference in terms of faith. You can believe in something wrong, or you can simply bow your head in a formal or polite nod, and call it "faith." But the faith that saves is that which produces good works.

In these three chapters, James showed us various ways in which God tests our faith to show that it is genuine. First, he tests our faith through difficulties and problems. We are going to share with you something that Dr. Lehman Strauss wrote in his book about Santiago. He, in turn, was quoting a letter from Dr. Richard Seume, who was a prominent Biblical speaker who suffered from liver disease for several years. And we quote it because it comes from a preacher who was not simply exposing a theory or his ideas, but he knew from experience what suffering meant. Said Dr. Seume: "Life in this world would not be worth much if every source of discomfort was removed." Still, most of us rebel against the things that bother us, and we consider as a strong loss what should be a We are told that the oyster is intelligent, and that when an annoying object like a grain of sand is introduced under the protective shell of its shell, the oyster simply covers it with the most precious part of its being, and converts it The annoyance that was suffering ends up being embedded in this pearl formation, therefore, a true pearl is simply a victory over the aforementioned annoyance, every nuisance that enters our lives today is an opportunity to cultivate a The more annoyances the devil throws at us, the more pearls we can have, we just need to welcome them and cover them completely with love, which is our most precious part and then, the annoyance it will be covered, relieved as the pearl begins to exist. What a collection of pearls we would have if we acted in this way! So far the appointment.

Therefore, until now we have seen that (1) God tests faith by means of problems. (2) However, God does not test our faith with evil (that is, the temptation to sin does not come from God). (3) God tests our faith through His Word. (4) God tests faith for attitude and actions in relation to people. (5) God tests our faith through good works and (6) God tests faith by language. James made it clear that genuine faith will be evident in the life of the believer.
