Discrimination appears in the material as a form of partiality that violates true justice and the call to mercy. Human nature tends toward partial and unfair judgments against those it dislikes, producing crooked paths without peace. This manifests when people receive unequal compensation or rewards for equal effort because of favoritism, or when equal rewards are given for unequal effort, both of which Scripture condemns as injustice. In the assembly, showing preference for a man with gold rings and fine apparel while directing the poor man in filthy clothes to stand aside or sit at a footstool constitutes partiality and makes believers judges with evil thoughts. Such favoritism is inconsistent with Christ's teachings, stems from evil thoughts, belittles those made in God's image, arises from selfish motives, contradicts the royal law to love one's neighbor as oneself, withholds mercy from the less prosperous, proves hypocritical, and is sin. God has chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, yet partiality dishonors them and aligns with the oppression practiced by the rich. Mercy triumphs over judgment only when partiality is absent, for whoever shows no mercy will receive none, while those who fulfill the law of liberty by treating all impartially will be exalted by mercy. Discrimination against Christians in society, where biblical convictions are branded bigotry and worship is viewed as threatening, further illustrates the world's rejection of impartial justice. The command to execute true justice with mercy and compassion therefore requires rejecting every form of bias so that forgiveness, aid to the needy, and fair judgment may reflect the character of the Father who shows mercy without partiality.
