James 2:8 - 3:12
JamesSteve Gregg
James 2:8-3:12 is a call to reject favoritism and show mercy to others as a reflection of one's own receiving of mercy from God. The passage emphasizes that faith without works is dead, and that our words have immense power over the well-being of ourselves and others. The speaker, Steve Gregg, draws parallels to other passages in scripture and highlights the importance of treating others with the same honor and esteem we would give to God.
