"Who am I?" is a fundamental existential question we were born to ask. Look in the mirror and who do you see? Do you see the image of someone whom you think you are or whom you do not know? If it is the former, we are affirmed; if it is the latter, we are unnerved. To find the answer, first we must have a trustworthy mirror that tells the truth. Secondly we must have the courage to stand in front of it and look. The Book of James holds out this mirror of God's Word and shines it on us. He pointedly exposes those who say they have faith but show no evidence of it in their life - i.e. profession without possession, and warns them of their fate. For the faithful, it portrays an image of Christlikeness for our training in godliness. The deep probe into our fundamental human nature makes us pensive; it challenges us to fathom how radical this new creation that is formed in us really is and to live it out as a good work of faith.
