James is teaching to a Jewish Christian audience in the early years after Jesus' ministry when Christianity was only a decade old. The Jews were experiencing a major spiritual paradigm shift. in their previous faith, they tended to view people and treat people based on their success or status. James emphasizes not showing favoritism in the Body of Christ but to treat all people as equally valuable, children of God. God does not look at the outer man but at the heart
