What is the measure of the condition of a man's heart before God? James argues that it is the condition of a man's mouth!
While this might seem like an odd take by James, his teaching is solidly grounded in the Scriptures. One does not need to look further than the great proclamation by the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament when he cried out, "And I said: 'Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!'"
Interestingly enough, it is the defilement of his lips that concerned Isaiah. He understood that, of everything, his mouth was the hardest part to control and bore a great responsibility for the sin in his life.
James would echo this sentiment hundreds of years later when he penned his letter to the churches.
