Greetings, royal subjects of Inclusionaland!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, we’re diving into the “royal law” from James 2:8-11. It’s time to don our crowns, dust off our scepters, and explore how inclusional living can help us apply the law of God in all the nooks and crannies of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
8 Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: \u201cLove your neighbor as yourself.\u201d 9 But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law. 10 For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God\u2019s laws. 11 For the same God who said, \u201cYou must not commit adultery,\u201d also said, \u201cYou must not murder.\u201d So if you murder someone but do not commit adultery, you have still broken the law.<\/p>\nJames 2:8-11 (NLT)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
One of the reasons we use the new term “inclusional” rather than the more often used term “inclusive” (like what we usually saw at work) is because we want to stress that this inclusivity is based on the Bible rather than any other values. The royal law, according to James, is to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Sounds familiar, right? But, loving our neighbors sounds simple, but we all know it’s easier said than done. It is the royal law because King Jesus put this command front and center, summing up the essence of God’s law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we practice inclusional living, we’re embracing the royal law, ensuring everyone feels the warm embrace of love and acceptance from Jesus. We listen without judgment, share without reservation, and celebrate our differences with joy. It’s like hosting the world’s most diverse and delightful block party, where everyone’s invited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But beware of the sneaky trap of favoritism! We often justify our favoritism by imagining that we’re doing a great job at loving all<\/em> our neighbors. However, in actual reality, we’re only loving some<\/em> of them\u2014the ones we prefer<\/em> to love. James warns that showing favoritism means breaking the law (James 2:9). The law is an all-or-nothing deal \u2013 stumbling in one area makes us guilty of breaking the whole shebang (James 2:10-11). Gulp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what happens when we slip up and break the royal law? Well, the good news is, we can always hit the “reset” button, seek forgiveness, and strive to do better next time. The key is to keep growing in love and inclusional living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, royal subjects, are you ready to love ALL your neighbors as Jesus taught? Let’s put on our inclusional capes and spread neighborly love far and wide, transforming our communities and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can you practically apply the royal law in your daily interactions to foster a sense of belonging for all without showing favoritism?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
