A Reminder!

James 2:1 NCV
My dear brothers and sisters, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, never think some people are more important than others.

Many times we show signs of favoritism in our lives. We say or act or do things to favor some people and not others based upon the crowd we are in or what we want to gain. Why should it surprise us when the world shows favoritism, or regards some greater than others, isn’t that natural for our culture, isn’t it natural for us and our human nature to judge and sin?
It is sin when we treat one person more important than another. The scripture says, if we really keep the royal law, “love others as you love yourself”, then you are doing right. Scripture goes on to say, mercy wins over judgement every time.

I am thankful that God used the NBA to remind me of the many times I show favoritism and judge. As a follower of God, right actions and right thoughts, are a natural by-product of true and genuine faith.
