 The Word of truth is the good seed of life; self-will is the cradle of our lusts- its energy can never produce the fruits of divine nature; nor the wrath of man the righteousness of God. (James 1 by J.N. Darby)
 “Born of water.” Some believe the water refers to baptism. This is fatal heresy which deceives souls into thinking that new birth occurs when one is baptized. Christendom is full of baptized, lifeless profession, of which Simon Magus in Acts 8 is an outstanding example. The life of God is only imparted by the power of the Holy Spirit using the Word (James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23; Eph. 5:26). (Help on Hard Verses by A.C. Brown)
 We are what we are according to His sovereign pleasure and not according to our thoughts or our wills. (James 1 by F.B. Hole)
