Title: I Wonder...What does James mean when he instructs us not to show favoritism?
Scripture Reading: James 1:27-2:13

In James chapter 2, we're instructed not to show favoritism. What does this mean and how can we live it out? James 2:13 gives us the thesis statement: Treat others as God treats you. This week is part 2 of this message where we look at the second part of that statement: how God treats us. 

We discover that God did not disfavor us orphans, but adopts us into His own family. And God did not favor merit for salvation because we have none.
