Grace for your spirit November 4, 2008

My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

Isn’t it only natural to show personal favoritism to rich people over the poor? We may have selfish personal motives by preferring important people, but isn’t that just the way everybody acts? God is looking for something better among those of us with faith. He wants our faith to work for good, not promote evil selfish motives. Most of the time our favorites will not return our favors, instead they often take advantage of those who bow and scrape for them. Besides all of that, God has a specific word for such personal favoritism. He calls it sin. Quit it.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
