James Chap.2

Verses:1-7 The sin of Respect of Persons,wow,thas deep.....
We should not show respect 2 men so much that it clouds or lessens  Jesus Christ, bein the Lord of Glory.
James cautions against showing partiality,and making decisions based on the attire of a person.In matters of religion,no mans riches makes him any closer 2 God,nor does a man bein' poor make any farther from God.
As Christians we have 2 B very careful about giving glory 2 worldly greatness and riches.2 form a certain opinion based on sum1's reputation of greatness is an evil thought process.By havin these thoughts we become opposite of God.The poor and lowly that U ignore can b chosen of God and R chosen of God.The poor in the world R rich n faith,The rich in the world R rich N good works.Respecting persons on account of their riches or outward figures,is shown 2 B a great sin.These thoughts dishonor your name,(greatly).

Verses:8-13  Lets get it fixed!!!
The scriptures say 2 love all our neighbors rich or poor,as we love ourselves.One simple rule 2 follow,keeping U on the right path.This rule of lovin others as we love ourselves is a law every1 must live by.Its a royal law and it comes from the King of Kings...We must govern and conduct ourselves by the laws of Jesus Christ.THE GOSPEL IS OUR LAW.It gives us our duty and also comforts us.Christ rules,teaches,and intercedes for us.Service 2 God is perfect freedom.All our conversations should B gospel conversations.

Verses:14-26
Paul:Speaks of works brought on by obedience 2 the law of Moses.Which speaks of our works being approved of by God.
James:Speaks of obedience 2 the gospel.Which speaks of our faith  being justified B4 men.
Both trying to magnify the faith.
But listen,Faith w/out works will not profit,nor save us.What sense does it make 4 a man 2 say he has faith but never show any actions outside of saying it.Mock faith is hateful.
Faith is the first principle of Christianity.Faith w/out works is dead,If Ur not doin anything 2 show your spirituality....Abraham had a working faith,and by that faith he became a friend of God.
 Your works of true faith must B executed from the commands of God,not your own imaginations or thoughts.
The best works,w/out faith R dead.
FAITH IS THE ROOT,GOOD WORKS ARE THE FRUITS,AND WE MUST C 2 IT THAT WE HAVE BOTH,CANT HAVE 1 W/OUT THE OTHER!
