The Royal Law Loving Our Neighbours

Pastor Ronald Kalifungwa’s sermon, "The Royal Law: Loving Our Neighbours," based on James 2:1-13 (NKJV), emphasises that works are evidence of true faith. James urges believers to demonstrate their faith through actions, highlighting the importance of two key attitudes. First, the attitude of the Lord of glory—Jesus loved all and promised blessings to all. Second, the attitude toward the law—James refers to loving one's neighbour as oneself as the "royal law" because it belongs to the sovereign God and is given to loyal believers to guide them in following Christ. The law serves as a map, providing direction and establishing a divine standard. James warns against partiality and discrimination, encouraging believers not to despise the poor or favour those who appear better. He calls for genuine love that mirrors Christ’s own love, fulfilling His law and reflecting the heart of true faith.The African Christian University, founded by the Reformed Baptist Church Association of Zambia, aims to glorify God in the pursuit of truth.
