Western society has recently become sensitive to discrimination based on race, nationality, sex, age, appearance, etc. However, discrimination is not new. In fact, James 2:1-13 focuses on the contradiction between having faith in Jesus and treating other people with partiality based on their status. It turns out that the antidote for such partiality is God’s mercy.
To be ready for Jesus’ coming, we need to be doing what he has already told us to do.
Once Jesus ascended on high, he sent the Father's promised Spirit to light up the church and empower her for her mission.
When we hear the gospel and believe it, Christians are sealed with the Holy Spirit.
