Today’s message takes us to James 1:9–11. Known for its practical wisdom, the book of James is often called the "Proverbs of the New Testament," and today’s passage is a clear example. So far, we’ve looked at trials and wisdom—now James turns to the realities of wealth and poverty. While the world elevates the rich, God does the opposite. Earthly riches offer no spiritual advantage. In fact, even if we have nothing materially, we can have everything in Christ. The gospel reorients our view, reminding us that this world is temporary and our true worth is found in our identity in Him. Through salvation, regardless of status or income, we become co-heirs with Christ. Our bank accounts mean nothing in eternity. The question is—do we really believe that?
