The apostle James addresses his letter to spiritual men. Living wisdom with joy is which distinguishes the spiritual man, from the rational man and the natural man, we live in a world given over to sin, and those who live according to the word of God must endure many trials and difficulties: "When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy", James 1:2
For James the spiritual man must ask God constantly and with devotion for wisdom: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.", James 1:5-7.
We cannot live according to the law of the spirit, the commandment of love, if we do not acquire wisdom: "If you keep the royal law found in Scripture, ´Love your neighbor as yourself´, you are doing right.", James 2:8.
God's law meets two conditions, which James explains to us: "Don't be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.", James 1:16-18.
The good is a nature, every being tends to its good or perfection, explains the theologian Thomas Aquinas; for example, the fruit is good when it is mature, the house is good when it is finished. Aristotle in his book metaphysics explains to us that something is perfect when it cannot be improved or surpassed in its kind; mercy, advice, eternity are perfections in their own genre according to the Bible.
