James 2

Favoritism has nothing to do with God. God sees that we favor people with money, fame and status. God sees all people the same and we should too. We tend to ignore or condemn those different from us or who are in need. God can get through to those who have no status and don't play favorites. Those who play favorites place "God-proof" shelters for themselves.

If you break even the smallest of God's commandments, you break the Law. God commands love our neighbors as ourselves. There is no place for favoritism in this. Caring wins out over judgmentalism. The caring person knows God.

You cannot have faith if it does not show forth in Godly action. Holy people are doers of the Word of God. Inert people are not listening to God and there actions are useless. Faith is completed by works. Works are Godly when they rise out of faith. Even the Old Testament whore, Rahab (who is in Jesus' ancestral tree!) was faithful because she acted upon God's prompting.
