Fulfilling, Doing Well, or Missing the Mark?

"If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin." James 2:8,9

Two parts to this: 1. You do well; 2. You sin.

It confirms us if we love, we do "good."

If we don't love, but show partiality, or inequity, or prejudice, we do "bad."

I always thought of love as being partial to someone...I like them better. But, here it says this is wrong. True love sees and acts beyond likes or dislikes. True love stays love inspite of our partialities, prejudices, and preconceptions.

Before you act today, think: Do I do well, or do I sin (miss the mark)?
