“[8] If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. [9] But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.” (James 2:8-9)
Favoritism is a sin that impairs our sense of fairness in dealing with people.
Sometimes I determined who “deserves” to be saved based on their outward appearance and form a certain judgment towards them.
God wants all of the people to be saved, but it is not doing the Kingdom any good if I become judgmental and refuse to share the gospel to everyone.
By showing favoritism, we are not keeping the Commandment and we are not giving glory to God.
I think I can do better in loving people and putting away my judgmental thoughts towards certain people, just as God has given all of us an opportunity to know Him.
Amen.
