James 1:2

Verse 2. When ye fall into divers temptations.

This, I take it, at least in this place, means trials which assail in this life, and which at that time had visited those addressed. The believer must meet these trials, and that, too, almost any day. Being engaged in a warfare, the Christian must expect the enemy of souls to assail and harass. Love to God and faith in his Son will become the stronger and shine forth the brighter as we are put to the test. Abraham was tested. Why should the believer today be exempted? If the faith is such as will meet the approval of the Master, it stands the test. What believer is there among all the children of God who can not rejoice when he fully appreciates the fact that his faith has stand the test to which it has been subjected?
