MY BRETHERN, DO NOT HOLD THE FAITH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD OF GLORY, WITH PARTIALITY (James 2:1)
"The faith of our Lord Jesus Christ" refers to the Christian faith. It is not a question of your trust or dependence, but rather of the body of truth which He gave to us. There is no place in Christianity for snobbishness or discrimination. Snobbery and ritual distinctions are utterly incon...sistent with true Christianity. Servility to human greatness has no place in the presence of the Lord of Glory. Contempt for others because of birth, race, sex, or poverty is a practical denial of the faith. In this passage it is a matter of showing slavish deference to people because of their expensive clothing or other artificial distinctions.
