God builds upon the commands of the Old Testament in Jesus Christ: He now calls us to live with a right heart that honors God.
Jesus called out the Pharisees for being so concerned about external matters, rather than the interior disposition of their hearts.
Ultimately, St. James writes is well when He says that true religion is to care for others in need and be undefiled by the world.
Conducting ourselves in this way reveals that God is present in our hearts, and reveals we are His specially chosen people.
