James 2:1-10
[1] My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 
[2] For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 
[3] and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 
[4] are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 
[5] Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 
[6] But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 
[7] Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 
[8] If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 
[9] but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Thursday, 11th December, 2025.

The Bible commands us that the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ should never be associated with partiality. It stresses that the Lord Himself shows no partiality (Deuteronomy 10:17 and Acts 10:34) so neither should those of us who put our trust in Him.

A significant aspect of the work of Jesus was to break down the walls that divided humanity, and to bring forth one new race of mankind in Him (Ephesians 2:14-15). Also, the unity and openness of the early church was shocking to the ancient world. But the unity did not come automatically. As this command from James shows, the apostles had to teach the early church to never hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.

Apostle James gave an example of the kind of partiality that should have no place among Christians: according respect and honour to the rich in gold rings, fine clothes, posh cars and the celebrities, giving them special seats while you despise the poor who come to church in filthy clothes.

The Bible says that to favour the rich over the poor is evil and evident of deep carnality among Christians. This is because this kind of partiality shows that we care more for the outward appearance than we do for the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 affirms that God does not see as man sees; man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. We too should look at the heart, Apart from this, when we show partiality and assume that the rich are more important, we miss the crucial point God made in James 2:5 that He hath chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of His kingdom. So they are the more important in God's sight. We are also guilty of putting too much value on material riches, believing that the rich can do favours for us that the poor cannot. So our partiality does not agree with God's heart. We have to stop every trace of it.

Beloved, if we give room for partiality or discrimination, we will not succeed in demonstrating Christ's love to the world or fulfil the Great Commission.
