The formula \u201elaw of freedom\u201c (James 1:25; 2:12) is a unique feature of this letter, because it is not found in other New Testament writings. The connections of the \u201elaw\u201c \u2013 with the \u201eword\u201c, with the theme of the perfection, with the \u201eroyal law\u201c of love, with the judgement and mercy \u2013 show the important aspects of the concept of the law in the Letter of James: theological, or rather theocentric: God is the lawgiver; eschatological: the law has the decisive function at the last judgement; soteriological: the law as the \u201eimplanted word\u201c (e;mfutoj lo,goj) is able to save the souls; ethic: the law is a norm of life (poihth.j no,mou; no,mon telei\/n); and ecclesiological: one of the characteristic features of the believing Christian community is the critical and normative status of the law of love and mercy in the interpretation and application of the commandments of the Law of Moses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df79203 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7df79203\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5a2939 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b5a2939\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56a0781b elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"56a0781b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article\"\r\n    data-title=\"\u201eDokonal\u00fd z\u00e1kon slobody\u201c (Jak 1,25).
