“[1] My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. [2] Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. [3] If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” [4] have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” (James 2:1-4)
In what ways of my life do I show favoritism? Although I do not do the exact things that were described in the Bible, but I do display bias actions towards people whom I feel closer and are more lovable.
Although some may argue that it is just “Human Nature” to do so, but the Bible warns us about such actions of favoritism.
We ought to check our hearts when we give more attention to one person over the other. God wants everyone to be saved and it is His desire for all to know Him.
Let us be inclusive in our love and fellowship, not allowing anyone to feel left out.
Amen.
