The Book of James (4 of 8)
Chapter 2:8-26
Dr. Harley Howard

8 If ye fulfill the royal law according to the
scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,
ye do well:

The law of love is impartial, period. If you practice
it, that is good. Now we need to take some time here
and examine this issue of what is the royal law that
James is referring to. It is the law of love, both to
God and one's neighbor. It is actually a truth which
