Listen, my dear brothers: Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him?
James 2:5 HCSB
Be content with little.
For whoever keeps the entire law, yet fails in one point, is guilty of breaking it all. For He who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not murder. So if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you are a lawbreaker. Speak and act as those who will be judged by the law of freedom. For judgment is without mercy to the one who hasn’t shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:10-13 HCSB
Just because you're 'perfect' in one area, it means little; you're sinning in other areas and guilty is guilty. Guilt is absolute and there are no levels of it in this respect. However, remember we've been granted mercy by the blood of Christ and we should act like it.
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can his faith save him?....faith if it doesn't have works is dead by itself....faith without works is useless...You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
James 2:14; 17; 21; 24 HCSB
This is what it looks like to be under mercy.
