Sons of the Living God

James gives us another look at practical faith, what Christianity looks like in the lives of believers, in the text of chapter 2. Casting distractions and poor motives out of way by focusing on Jesus, we are reminded beautifully that we are all sons of the living God. When finding ourselves rich in the world we are called to remember our mere mortal status, while the poor are challenged to meditate on the fact that God has lifted them up to royalty. In this middle, flat ground, we walk together humbly, valued and loved, in community, in the kingdom of God.
