James condemns favouritism or preferring people of position as incompatible with the Gospel of grace. We need to beware lest the cult of celebrity or performance based religion takes root in our churches 2:1.
John Newton said ” Let us not measure men, much less ourselves by gifts or services. One grain of grace is worth an abundance of gifts.
The grace of God is extended to the “whosoever will may come” Our Lord made no distinction whatsoever nor must we. Nor must we show any favouritism to any christian based upon wealth, class or spiritual gift. If we give special attention to another because of their riches we sin, we are to ” love our neighbour as ourselves 2:9
We are not to judge a book by its cover, Jesus knows those who are His Jesus made no distinction when he saved us, if we judge others by outward appearance it shows we are being guided by wrong motives 2:4
memory verse
How can you claim that you have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favour some people more than others? James 2:1 N.L.T.
