Christ is the supreme model of impartiality, which sets the standard for His followers.
๐๐จ๐’๐ฌ ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐
The Lord of Glory has no respect of persons. God is holy and does not take bribes or regard worldly status over repentance. Ministers who claim to be true must be like God by being impartial and not taking bribes to appoint people to positions.
๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ’๐ฌ ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ญ
Christ deals with people purely on the basis of the Word of God, without any respect of persons. This impartiality is part of the wisdom that is from above.
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ
Leaders are charged to observe the Word of God “without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality”.

Partiality is contrary to the true fellowship of brethren in Christ and must be rejected entirely.
๐ ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐๐ง
The Epistle of James is written to the brethren, stressing the need for patience, slowness to wrath, and abstaining from speaking evil of one another. Anger does not improve anything in the Church.
๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ
To have respect of persons in leadership, judgment, or appointments “is not good” and is often done “because of advantage”. This sin makes a person a “judge of evil thoughts”.

True faithfulness means building up one’s faith, keeping oneself in the love of God, and looking for Christ’s return with holiness. Men-pleasers, people-pleasers, and society-pleasers will not make it at the Rapture.

True brethren are chosen by God to be heirs of the Kingdom, and their lives must be consistent with this high calling to prevent the blasphemy of Christ’s name.
๐๐จ๐’๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ข๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ
God chose the “poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom”. Not many noble or wise men are called, but God chose the weak and foolish things of the world to confound the mighty.
๐๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ก ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ
Believers must live blamelessly so that the rich or the world do not blaspheme the worthy name by which they are called because of their bad behaviour or character. Those whose lifestyle denies Christ are called the “synagogue of Satan”.

When believers are “rich in faith,” they are rich in grace, joy, godliness, and good actions. This richness ensures they are led by the Spirit and will be glorified with Christ.
