James 2:1-13
The theme for this section is continues to be faith and integrity.
James provides two situations which we deal with and impact our integrity to the faith we claim.
This is a further discussion of chapter 1.
Can we be humble if we approach the salvation offered by Christ as only for a certain group, status, heritage or those that fit our ideas of who can be saved?
We are all called to the same position in standing before God.
Redeemed, saved, and glorified by Christ or condemned.
We are to view all who are saved as brothers/sisters on equal footing.
I am no better in my standing before God than anyone else around the table.
This is the application of chapter 1: 9. Christ offers salvation to all.
Why is it so difficult to not do this?
Trying to be part of the “clique”.
Trying to get into the circle.
We selfishly want others to look at us in the same manner.
Envious of the impact they have.
Want to feel important.
It is hard to pass the test of standing faithfully in integrity as a slave.
What are some practical ways to help us?
We all are part of a royal priesthood.
Sons/daughters of the King of kings.
Salvation is the great equalizer.
How can we as brothers look onto someone and say your not worthy?
Is rich oppressing a truth or generalization?
How can we tell the difference?
James is setting up the next area regarding faith and works.
He makes the argument, along with the rest of the New Testament, that if we are saved by fulfilling the law, then breaking any part of it condemns us.
Instead we should function as though we are saved by faith which provides freedom from the law.
Why does salvation based on faith lead to freedom?
What kind of freedom?
Application
Are we starting to see the many occurrences of the test of our integrity?
The opportunities to be tested are all around us.
