God Gives Grace to the Humble
God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6–10 is not soft advice for religious people. It is a call to surrender, repentance, and real submission before God. Pride puts a man in opposition to God, but humility opens the floodgate of greater grace. This sermon presses the hearer to submit to God, resist the devil, draw near to God, and humble himself before the Lord.
