Today's Passage:
James 2:1-13
God's Message to Me Today:
Don't judge people simply by the way they look or dress.
A Promise From God:
If I am merciful to others, God's mercy toward me will win out over his judgement.
A Command to Keep:
I must obey all the laws, for breaking only one means I've broken the entire thing.
A Timeless Principle:
"12 So whenever you speak, or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law of love, the law that set you free."
How Does This Apply to My Life:
I need to pay more attention to the commandment to love my neighbor. I am quite guilty of judging people and treating them differently simply by their outward appearance. I must realize that my behavior is sinful and in the eyes of God, there is no difference between my sin and the ones that we on earth perceive as "worse" sins.
