John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
James 1:7
For let not that man think
Imagine, conclude, or please himself with such thoughts,
that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
wisdom, or anything else, he is seeking after; for wanting faith,
he has nothing to receive with; faith is the grace, which
receives the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and all grace from him;
which receives a justifying righteousness, pardon of sin,
adoption of children, and even the everlasting inheritance, at
least, the right unto it; wherefore those who have not faith, as
the wavering man, cannot receive any thing.
