James 2 Verses 1-13 (Favoritism Forbidden)

Missing image
Believers in Christ do not show favoritism
there should be no difference between rich or poor
A man with a gold ring and fine clothes is no better
then a man dressed shabbily that you abhor

We must treat everyone the same no matter what
If you offer the man with fine clothes a seat
you can not make the shabbily dressed man
stand there or tell him to sit by your feet

You would discriminate against the poor man
judge him with your evil thought you perceive
God has chosen the poor and rich in faith
promising His kingdom to all who does believe

You insult the poor as the rich exploit you
dragging you into court slandering God's name
Scripture says  "Love your neighbor as yourself"
to sin is breaking the law, so you must refrain

Who ever breaks one law is guilty of breaking all
no matter which one of God's law you break
you will be a lawbreaker in the eyes of God
so  we must obey all His laws and never forsake

Speak and act as those who are to be judged
by the law that give freedom to you and me
anyone will be judged without mercy
who has not acted themselves mercifully

"Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment"
