The Perfect Law

The Perfect Law

James 1:25
Excerpt
The “perfect law” (1:25; “law of liberty,” NASB and KJV) may refer to (1) the word of God which sets believers free in Christ (John 8:32); (2) the law of the new covenant written on the hearts of believers (Jer. 31:33); or (3) the Old Testament ethic as explained and developed by Jesus (Matt. 5–7). This “perfect law” is a way of describing the application of God’s love to life’s circumstances. James was not thinking of “religion without God” but rather the outward expression of a genuine, inner faith. True religion involves ethical responsibilities. More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
