James 2:8-11

James 2:8-11

 8If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself,"[a] you are doing right. 9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11For he who said, "Do not commit adultery,"[b] also said, "Do not murder."[c] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

My Thoughts:

- Doing right = loving your neighbor as yourself.
- Favoritism = Breaking the law.
- If you break 1 part of the law you have broken the law...  Basically everyone is a sinner - if you break a small part of the law you are still a sinner.

What do you think?

1. How can you love your neighbor as yourself?
2. Why would it say to love your neighbor as much as yourself?  How is that a good example?
3. Showing favoritism isn't as bad as say murder...  but it is still a sin. Do you think this is true?  Why?

Let me hear your thoughts!
