How does James encourage us to persevere in trials?

1. Remember your identity in Christ
2. Resist the desires of the flesh
• Sin's progression
- Desire
- Drawn away
- Deceive
- Death
3. Recognize the immutability of God
• God's purpose is Christlikeness
• Satan's purpose is destruction
4. Run to the Word of God
• Read humbly
• Memorize consistently
• Obey faithfully
