LAW BREAKERS James 2:10 “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” The law of God is one law. Yes, it is true that there are ten Commandments; but they are not ten laws. There is only one law and each Commandment is one point of that law. That is why He said: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” Now there are statutes, precepts, and judgments. But ladies and gentlemen, let me make this clear, God only has one law with 10 points which make up the whole law. If you break one point of the law you are guilty of breaking the whole law. I have heard people say: well, I have not killed anyone so I am not too bad. But Romans 3:23 tells us: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” and sin is a violation of the law. One of the main definitions of sin is to go over, to go through, to break, or to trespass where God said not to go or not to do. I am sure you have seen a sign hanging on a fence or tree which said: no trespassing. And most people know that they are committing an offense when they ignore this sign and cross over that point. The law of God is like a no trespassing sign. “Thou shalt not kill.” Don’t go through. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Don’t go through. “Thou shalt not steal.” Don’t go through. The law is the basis for all the statutes, precepts and judgments; but our problem is that we haven’t even kept the basis. In Matthew 5:28 Jesus said: “...That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” All it takes is a lustful look and you have broken God’s whole law. I John 3:15 tells us: “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer...” The ninth Commandment states: “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” I have had people tell me that they have never told a lie. Guess what? They just broke the law. Men make laws, nations are run by laws, and laws are necessary. However, we make more laws than we can ever enforce. But remember this, man’s laws are not always God’s law. In fact, there are times when man’s laws absolutely conflict with God’s law. When man’s laws conflict with God’s law it is God’s law which should be obeyed. But the fact still remains that everyone of us has broken God’s law at one time or
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com another. Going against God’s law by transgressing it is a sin of commission. The second definition of sin is by omission. It is by not doing what God has told us to do. If you rob a bank you have broken the law, a sin of commission, but if you do not pay your income tax you have also broken the law, a sin of omission. It is the same with God’s law; you have sins of commission and sins of omission. Forsaking the assembling of yourselves together is a sin of omission for Christians. We all need God’s forgiveness. But the unsaved person needs God’s salvation. All it takes is one sin, one time, and there is no way for you to ever make that right again. You have broken God’s whole law. If you are depending on keeping God’s law to get you to heaven, you can scratch that. It will never happen. But there is someone who can take that sin away from you; someone who has fulfilled all the law for you. Acts 4:12: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” And that is the name of Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8: “But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 10:9; 10; 13: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ; repent of your sin; pray and ask for forgiveness. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
