James 2:10

Bible Verse of the Week

 
 
 
 
 
Are all sins equal in the sight of God?
 
James 2:10 
For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.
 
In reference to this verse, Pastor John MacArthur says,
Whole law…one point  “The law of God is not a series of detached injunctions but a basic unity that requires perfect love of Him and our neighbors (Matthew 22:26-40).  Although all sins are not equally damaging or heinous, they all shatter that unity and render men transgressors, much like hitting a window with a hammer at only one point will shatter and destroy the whole window.”
Guilty of all – “Not in the sense of having violated every command, but in a sense of having violated the law’s unity.  One transgression makes fulfilling the law’s most basic commands – to love God perfectly and to one one’s neighbor as oneself- impossible.”
 
Once we see ourselves as guilty before a Holy God, it should drive us to our knees repenting and praying that God would forgive our sins through the death of Christ and give us a new heart that loves Him and desires to follow Him.
