James said, “Don't treat people differently because of how they look or how much money they have!”
Imagine a rich person in fancy clothes comes to church, and you give them the best seat. Then a poor person comes, and you say, “Sit on the floor.” That's wrong!
God loves everyone the same. We should treat everyone with kindness and respect.
