Showing Favoritism Toward the Rich
James 2: 1 - 13
1. We are not acting like Christ if we are more friendly to people who appear to be successful.
2. As Christians, we should see people like God sees them: unique; in need of love; dearly loved by God; and made in His image.
3. If we do not have compassion for the poor, our religion is unacceptable to God. James 1: 27
4. James points out that it is often the rich who reject Christ, exploit us, and drag us into to court for some infraction.
5. When we provide food for a poor person, Jesus said we are giving it directly to Him. Matthew 25: 34 – 46
6. Prejudice is a sin.
7. If we show no mercy, no mercy will be shown us.
