God has granted each of us authority, power, and gifts to serve the body of Christ, expecting us to use them with the wisdom from above. Jesus Christ, as a man, completed the work He was given, carefully using His authority to manifest the Father to those under Him, setting a perfect example for us to follow. We are called to seek and apply the same wisdom He used from the beginning, ensuring our decisions reflect godly principles rather than carnal desires. The stakes of using delegated authority are evident in the choices we make, as seen in the example of Ananias and Sapphira, who, lacking godly wisdom, became hypocrites and doomed themselves by choosing worldly wisdom over life. Similarly, every one of us, working under the authority God has given, bears responsibility toward others, training to be teachers with outgoing concern. We must handle our gifts with care, understanding that even a small authority, like a tongue, can steer a large ship, and we must ensure it moves in the right direction. God, through James, an eyewitness to Christ's life, reveals the seven pillars of wisdom within which we must operate: purity, peace, gentleness, willingness to yield, mercy with good fruits, impartiality, and lack of hypocrisy. Purity stands as the central pillar, supporting the others, ensuring that our use of authority remains clean, innocent, and aligned with the simplicity of the gospel of the Kingdom of God that Jesus preached. This purity, tied to the love of God, is vital in producing the fruit of righteousness and winning over others through godly conduct. Our citizenship lies in the Kingdom of God, and the gifts we have been given must be used under these pillars of wisdom to serve the body of Christ. As James bears witness, the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace, guiding us to use our God-given authority in a manner that honors Him.
