Remove the Moral Filth
“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” James 1: 19-21
Quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James is simply saying practice self control. Lashing out in anger does not bring about a righteous life. It more often than not causes us push people away from us.
James urges us to get rid of the “moral filth and evil” in our life. All of us wether we like to admit it or not have some kind of “filth” in our life that we need to be rid of.
It is essential that we do this and accept the word of God that has been given to us, for it is only the word of God that can save us.
