James 2:1-7

James 2:1-7
1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?   5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?

If we're to be CF & Christ-like then we should not have favorites. That is a form of judging because you are thinking that a person is better than the other based on clothes, status, education, background, etc. It's discrimination the verse even mentions that. If we are to  treat others or at least look at others the way you want to be treated then we know we wouldn't want someone to make a favorite out of us or us NOT be made the favorite. God loves us all equally and were suppose to love equally also. If were not perfect then we know that no one is perfect. No one deserves something more than the other, we should be equal to each other if were equal to God. If we shoe favoritism how are we different than the world? When the rich suffer when they're lacking they're being ungrateful but when the poor embrace what they are given they are being grateful.
