DAILY, WEEKEND, AND HOLIDAY INTERNET EVANGELIZE TO THE WORLD MINISTRY

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 Hughes, Robert B., and J.
