Verse from James

“我的弟兄们，你们既然对我们荣耀的主耶稣基督有信心，就不应该凭外貌待人。”

‭‭雅各书‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭

“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.”

‭‭James‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭

Sometimes we need to be reminded that each human is important in God’s eyes. Society shines bright lights on the rich and famous. Yet fame doesn’t make a person any more important than your next-door neighbor, the noisy kids who play in your street, the down-on-his-luck guy at the city mission, or you.

Every person on earth is created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), whether rich or poor (Proverbs 22:2). No one is favored more than another in His eyes (Romans 2:11), and each is in need of a Savior (3:23).

We glorify our great God when we refuse to show favoritism—whether in the church (James 2:1–4) or in society at large.
