James calls out the sin of showing partiality—treating some people better than others based on status, appearance, influence, or what they can offer us. And while he gives the example of favoring the rich over the poor, this truth applies to many areas of our lives.

Do we judge people by their appearance before knowing their heart?

Do we show kindness to those who benefit us, but ignore those who seem unimportant?

Do we give more honor to those with influence, while overlooking the ones who can do nothing for us?

This is a test of our faith. Are we thinking like the natural man, or are we walking in the Spirit?
