Sorry, One-Percenters Being a faithful person means that you don't
favor rich people over poor people.When fancy folks wearing
expensive clothes stroll into church, everyone falls all over
themselves to get these hoity toity guys a seat.But when someone
without a lot of cash in his pockets walks in, he's told to stand
or sit on the ground. It's not very polite.If that's how you treat
the poor—whom God specifically said were going to be part of his
kingdom—then you are really not getting it, says James.Why should
Christians love these rich guys so much anyway? Wealthy folks are
the ones who have you arrested for following Jesus. They drag you
into court and basically mock God. What's so awesome about them,
again? Faith vs. Works: The Ultimate Showdown If you're merciful to
others, God will repay the favor. But if you spend most of your
free time judging people based on their appearances, then God is
gonna judge the heck out of you, too.Seriously, you can't say you
follow God and then act like a jerk.Having faith alone can't save
you. You also need to do good works to complete the picture.James
continues: it won't help anyone for you to just smile at poor
people and wish them well. Where are they supposed to live? How are
they going to eat? If you don't help those who need it, all your
pious faith and feel-good beliefs are dead in the water.Of course,
some knuckleheads think that you can separate out faith and
works.These folks say, Hey, I have faith in God. You do the good
works. Then everyone will be covered.If your spirit leaves your
body, you're dead. And if you just think nice things about God but
never do anything, then you're dead, too. 'Nuff said. Thanks to
