There are several studies that have been conducted on the subject of wisdom as found in James 3:13-18, but these studies have not given adequate attention to the function of the fruits of wisdom from above. The purpose of the research in this article is to offer a new perspective on the function of the fruits of wisdom as an antidote and a way of life that produces peace. To achieve this purpose, this article used a qualitative analysis of the text of James 3:13-18. The analysis showed that James demonstrates the function of the fruits of wisdom from above, not only as an antidote, but also as a way of life in the daily practices of the Christians to whom the author addressed this letter. This article concludes with a summary of the dangers of worldly wisdom explored by James and the distinction between divine and worldly wisdom. James proves that the fruits of wisdom from above or from God can be an effective antidote and at the same time a way of life for Indonesian churches in facing various problems both in the Indonesian churches
