—James 2:1-13
by: Gabriela Alonzo.
God does not tolerate partiality. In fact, His Word describes those who practice partiality as having evil intentions. Let us remember that not one of us is without sin, and therefore we are all guilty of breaking God’s commandments. We are, therefore, not qualified to distinguish ourselves from others as though we are closer to God and have a higher place than someone else. We are responsible for treating others with the same mercy and compassion that God grants to us, despite our sinful nature. After all, we should treat others as we would want to be treated; we are to love one another.
