James 2:8-13 Law, Judgement and Mercy

In this passage, James calls us to live righteous lives, lives that look righteous and lives that are filled with the righteousness of mercy. He writes

James 2

^10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. ^11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” ^b also said, “Do not murder.” ^c If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

^12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, ^13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!

^b Exodus 20:14; Deut. 5:18

^c Exodus 20:13; Deut. 5:17

What do you think righteouness lived today looks like?
