Explanation
Candidates are expected to list out points such as;
- James in his epistle admonished Christians to be impartial since they profess the faith of Jesus Christ.
- This is because Jesus Himself does not show partiality.
- James gave an illustration of a rich man nicely dressed and a poor man shabbily dressed both visiting a church.
- And it happens that much attention is given to the rich man.
- The well -dressed rich man is given a special place to sit.
- But the poorly dressed man is asked to stand at an ordinary place.
- According to James, in such a situation, discrimination has been made between the rich and the poor.
- And this makes people become judges with evil thoughts.
- James says that God has chosen those who are poor materially in this world to be spiritually rich in faith.
- James holds the view that the poor are the heirs of the kingdom which is promised to those who love God.
- James further reminded the believers about how the rich dishonour the poor.
- He said the rich consistently oppress the poor and drag them to court.
- The rich also blaspheme the honourable name of Jesus.
- James admonished believers to observe the royal law which is “love your neighbour as yourself”.
