The Law of Partiality

This lesson explores the sin of partiality and its impact on how we perceive and receive people within the body of Christ. James 2:1-10 exposes the dangers of favoritism and selective hearing, showing how human judgment often contradicts divine wisdom. When we incline only our ear but not our heart, we risk filtering God’s voice through personal bias rather than spiritual discernment.

Through the examples of Samuel and Jesus, we see that those who position themselves as students—willing to hear from any vessel God chooses—grow in favor with both God and man. This lesson challenges us to eliminate partiality, open our hearts fully, and walk in divine perception, unlocking the favor that comes with true spiritual alignment.
