Commentary
Commentary on James 2:12
Theological / DevotionalSpeak. In summation, the apostle exhorts his fellow church members to strive for a daily practice of speaking and doing that is conformable to God’s law. James’s assertion that men are responsible for their words and deeds is characteristic of him, and is another allusion to the teachings of Christ (see Matt. 12:36, 37).
Judged. The life record of every man will one day be reviewed by God (see on Acts 17:31; 2 Cor. 5:10).
Law of liberty. See on James 1:25. In addition to the Decalogue, the other “words” which Jesus spoke will also finally judge men (see on John 12:48). “Sin can triumph only by enfeebling the mind, and destroying the liberty of the soul. Subjection to God is restoration to one’s self, — to the true glory and dignity of man. The divine law, to which we are brought into subjection, is ‘the law of liberty”’ (DA 466). See Mishnah Aboth 6.2.
