James wants his audience to know showing favoritism and partiality because of one’s social status is sinful and breaks the law of God. Specifically, James addresses the practice of honoring those who have money above those who are poor, reminding us to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Next, James addresses what seems to be an argument between the value of faith and the value of works. While good works do not save one from hell or make someone righteous before, faith without works is useless. In other words, true faith is accompanied by works.
