Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study James 2:8-17. Jesus’ reign as King is the overarching reality for all of Christian faith and life. When Christians look upon the world, they see all people as those for whom Christ died, those to whom love is due. Partiality toward others is antithetical to this Christian faith. The whole law is given by God; to break it by showing partiality is no different that breaking it by murder or adultery. Christians first must recognize themselves as those who will be judged by God. In His judgment, He has shown mercy to us in the death of Jesus. His judgment against sin was poured out on Jesus in order to show mercy to us and to all. This faith pushes partiality out of our hearts. This faith is active in works. A faith that produces no works is dead and is in need of the saving Word of God to revive it once again. “Wisdom from Above” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Epistle of St. James
