Having the Mind of Christ (James 3:17)

According to James 3:17, "the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle..." Peace in Greek is "eirene" and indicates a state of tranquility, harmony and well- being. Gentle, likewise in Gree, is "eiko," meaning to humbly yield, to give way, to voluntarily submit. In seeking to have the mind of Christ, these are the attributes one should be striving to exhibit. However, without walking closely with the Lord, anyone would find difficulty exhibiting these attributes, even in the best of circumstances. Let us look at the Word in showing us how to obtain these qualities and what that should look like in our daily lives.
