Let Others See Jesus in You
James 2September 16, 2010
Favoritism Forbidden by God
But if you show favoritism,you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
James 2:9
God Honors the Poor
He raises the poor from the dust and
lifts the needy from the ash heap;
He seats them with princes and
has them inherit a throne of honor.
1 Samuel 2:8 NIV
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
so that you through his poverty might become
rich.2 Corinthians 8:9
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well;
keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his
physical needs, what good is it?
James 2:15 ,16
Faith without Works is Dead
James and PaulJames is not teaching Salvation• Living the Christian life• Fruits of your life
Paul is teaching Salvation• Faith through grace• Not works of the law
If anyone has material possessions
and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him,
how can the love of God be in him?
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3: 17,18
Do others see Jesus in you?
