James 2:1-13• One who holds faith in Jesus with favoritism – – Becomes a judge with evil motives– Dishonors the poor man– Commits sin–Will be shown the same merciless judgment by

God• Can we never judge anyone for anything?–Matthew 7:1-5– 1 Corinthians 5:3-6; 9-13

John 7:21-24• Don’t judge things solely by their appearance• How did Jesus view outward appearance?–Matt. 23:4-5; 25-28

• Christ isn’t pleased with outward righteousness if it doesn’t display what’s truly in the heart

What Should Be Our Concern?• 1 Peter 3:1-6– V.3 – literal adornment (braid hair, jewelry, etc)– V.4 – adornment of character (submissive, gentle and quiet spirit, behavior, chaste and

respect)• 1 Peter 5:5– V.5 - Man’s “clothing” is humility toward one

another– V.5-6 - Subjection to elders, humility before

God
