Roles and Requirements of Men and Women as stated in the

Letters of James , Jude , and Peter

The Three letters of the apostles James , Jude , and Peter , contain wisdom from the apostles , declaring that people should do as God commands . And that salvation can only be attained by following the whole law without hesitation not choosing the parts of the Law that he would follow (James 2 :10

Jude declared that we should fight for our faith in the Lord and that we should be proud

to tell the world about the Word of God . The apostle James extended this thought by saying that faith without works is dead (James 2 :17 , he said that man cannot say that he believes in God but not do as he says and that a man is judged trough his works and not by his faith alone (James 2 :24 . Not only are we to obey the Law but we are commanded to deliver the word of the Lord to other people (1 Pet . 4 10-11

They announced that wisdom comes from the Holy Ghost through holy men chosen by God (2 Pet . 1 :21 , and that this wisdom from above is pure peaceable , and full of mercy (James 3 :17

They also declared that punishment awaits those who did not believe in God (Jude 1 :15 . Also that rich men would be miserable specially those who are unjust to the poor (James 5 :1-6 . Peter asserted that false teachers are to be damned (2 Pet . 2 :1

While the letter of Jude instructed mainly to uphold our faith , James taught us to have humility and patience in fighting for the Word of God Together with all his other teachings
