Grace Without Partiality: James 2:1–13
Welcome to Timeless Truth with Pastor Jim Thomas. In this episode, we continue our study with James 2:1-13.
“Nothing in history or the universe cuts us down to size like the cross. All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousness, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.”
John Stott, The Message of Galatians
The gospel makes a threefold impact:
- The gospel shapes how we view Jesus.
- The gospel shapes how we view ourselves.
- The gospel shapes how we view others.
“Anytime and anywhere, anyone—regardless of ethnic identity or social status—can be forgiven of his or her sins by trusting in the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Mark Dever
“For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.”
1 Corinthians 1:26-27
“Christian, God knew the worst about you when He first accepted you, far better than you did. He accepted you for Jesus’ sake, and He will not change that basis of His acceptance now.”
Michael Reeves
