Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, James 1:27.
Observe, (1.) It is the glory of religion to be pure and undefiled; not mixed
with the inventions of men nor with the corruption of the world.        False
religions may be known by their impurity and uncharitableness; according to that
of John, He that doeth not righteousness is not of God neither he that loveth
not his brother, 1 John 3:10. But, on the other hand, a holy life and a
charitable heart show a true religion. Our religion is not adorned with
ceremonies, but purity and charity. And it is a good observation that a religion
which is pure should be kept undefiled. (2.) That religion is pure and undefiled
which is so before God and the Father. That is right which is so in God's eye,
and which chiefly aims at his approbation. True religion teaches us to do every
thing as in the presence of God; and to seek his favour, and study to please him
in all our actions. (3.) Compassion and charity to the poor and distressed from
a very great and necessary part of true religion: Visiting the fatherless and
widow in their affliction. Visiting is here put for all manner of relief which
we are capable of giving to others; and fatherless and widows are here
particularly mentioned, because they are generally most apt to be neglected or
oppressed: but by them we are to understand all who are proper objects of
charity, all who are in affliction. 
It is very remarkable that if the sum of religion be drawn up to two articles
this is one--to be charitable and relieve the afflicted. Observe, (4.) An
unspotted life must accompany an unfeigned love and charity: To keep himself
unspotted from the world. The world is apt to spot and blemish the soul, and it
is hard to live in it, and have to do with it, and not be defiled; but this must
be our constant endeavour. Herein consists pure and undefiled religion. The very
things of the world too much taint our spirits, if we are much conversant with
them; but the sins and lusts of the world deface and defile them very woefully
indeed. John comprises all that is in the world, which we are not to love, under
three heads: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life;
and to keep ourselves unspotted from all these is to keep ourselves unspotted
from the world. May God by his grace keep both our hearts and lives clean from
the love of the world, and from the temptations of wicked worldly men.
