Book of James | Part Three
Sep 28, 2022 • Richard Gobble
In the first chapter, James established the foundation of the entire letter: being a doer of the Word. In the second and subsequent chapters, James expounds on what that means practically. We learn in this lesson that there is no room for favoritism. When we discriminate against someone, we are making ourselves judges with evil thoughts. If we show favoritism, we sin and are convicted as lawbreakers. If we desire mercy to be extended to us, we must also show mercy to others. We are declared righteous by God by our faith demonstrated in our works. Am I allowing the Word of God to continue to change me? How will people know?
