Racial prejudice has recently come to the forefront of our culture. Prejudice and partiality are not new. They are as old as the Bible! James dealt with partiality and prejudice in his day. The areas of prejudice were social and economic. In today’s passage, it is pointed out that how you treat people shows what you really believe about God. There are four doctrines that are scrutinized in these verses about the treatment of others.
1. How you treat others shows what you believe about God’s Son, vv. 1-4.
2. How you treat others shows what you believe about God’s grace, vv. 5-7.
3. How you treat others shows what you believe about God’s Word,vv. 8-11.
4. How you treat others shows what you believe about God’s judgment, vv. 12-13.
How Christlike is your treatment of others?
