The Royal Law - James 2:8-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021

James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. The Importance of the Command Is anybody here interested in seeing the most important ...read more
