James 2:1-13

We were listening to James chapter 2:1-13

James 2:8-10
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

This verse really struck me to heart. I have read it before but I have a different look at it now. We need to learn to not be so judgmental, but we need to have more mercy for others just as Jesus has for us.

With out the law we would not know our need for Jesus.  We will be judged by how we loved. That is how we will account for our lives before God. He is gracious enough to save us, and to also show us how to love.

Are you aware of the mercy that you received? Stop seeing people the way society portrays them, but how God wants us to see all who are created by Him. The person we look down upon, remember Jesus died for them just he died for all us.
