Grace To The Humble

James 4:6
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

The grace we have in Christ is able to bring great strength to the believer. Grace is help from heaven, what God can do in and through your life. As the scripture above reveals, God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. This reveals that there is more grace, the help of God available to those who are humble. In the verses that follow we see keys to Bible humility.

The very next verse says submit to God and resist the devil. In chapter one of this letter James tells us we are not tempted by God, but by satan. He tempts us with our own fleshly desires. When we choose to submit to God instead of yielding to the temptation, we automatically resist satan and receive God’s help. In chapter four above James goes on to say we are to draw near to God, and He will draw near to us. The more we fellowship with God, the more of His help we can receive.

He then tells us to cleanse our hands of willful sin, and to purify our hearts from being double-minded. Double-minded people James said in chapter one receive nothing from the Lord. To not be double-minded one simply gets their focus on the things of the spirit, looking at life through God’s perspective instead of the flesh. For those who submit to God, draw near to God, and keep their focus on Him, they will receive more of God’s grace, help from heaven.
