James 2:12
"So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall"
"Be judged by the law of liberty"
The Law of Liberty; now what law is this? For the believer it is the law of love. Leviticus 19:18 "thou shalt not avenge nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord. This "Law of Love" is so important to God; in Matthew 22:35-40, when Christ was ask by a lawyer while being tempting by him; which is the great commandant in the law? Christ answerd this; "thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandent. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Mathew 22: 37-40).
It is a sin to show respect of persons; and to break one commandment is to be guilty of the whole law! The same God gave all commandments, and all must be obeyed and practiced. Of course I am not putting the Christian back under the Mosaic law; I am referring to the moral law which still abides under the New Covenant. We are to act and speak as those who will be judged, not by the law of Moses, but by the more severe "Law Of Liberty" the law of love written in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
