Proverbs warn us of being partial!

Touch of Encouragement for you and these verses in Proverbs warn us of being partial to the wicked in cases where the righteous would be deprived of justice. 5 It is not good to show partiality to the wicked, or to overthrow the righteous in judgment. (Proverbs 18:5-6-7-8) (Read Proverbs 18:1-24) Verse 5 tells us that it is a terrible thing before God, when the wicked person receives partial treatment (for any reason); and especially when that partiality would keep a righteous person from receiving their just dues. As God’s children we are taught not to allow the money or position of a person to influence us. We are to treat all fairly regardless of their standing — whether they are rich or poor, black or white, or educated or ignorant. (B. Miller) Reader, you will soon face Jesus Christ. You may have influenced and manipulated other weaklings like yourself during your life. But God has ordained Him to judge the world in absolute justice in a day that is rapidly approaching (Acts 17:29-31<nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbiblia.com%2Fbible%2Fkjv1900%2FActs%252017.29-31&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ccff812693eae465564ce08d60aa69656%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%…>). His judgment will be in pure equity and righteousness; His sentence will be absolute and final. You will not be able to sway Him in the least with tears, excuses, threats, comparisons, or pleadings. Humble yourself before Him now and beg for mercy before it is too late. (Anonymous) The bottom line is this God, Himself, is not a respecter of persons. He loves everyone equally. No one person is loved more than another. However, there is one thing that God is a respecter of — that is His Word. If we practice and keep His Word, He will honor us because of it. Therefore, anyone who keeps the Word of God will be respected by God. ><))))*>
