New Testament: James 4:1-17
Summary: Warning Against Worldliness, Boasting About Tomorrow
But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. ~ James 4:6-10
more grace. The only ray of hope in man’s spiritual darkness is the sovereign grace of God, which alone can rescue man from his propensity to lust for evil things. That God gives “more grace” shows that His grace is greater than the power of sin, the flesh, the world, and Satan (cf. Rom_5:20). The OT quote (from Pro_3:34; cf. 1Pe_5:5) reveals who obtains God’s grace—the humble, not the proud enemies of God. The word humble does not define a special class of Christians, but encompasses all believers (cf. Isa_57:15; Isa_66:2; Mat_18:3-4). ~ John MacArthur
