Reading:
Whosoever
shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of
all.
Commentary:
While we often speak of the Ten Commandments, but all
of the commandments are connected together as one, and to break one is to break
all. Consider how the only commandment
God gave Adam and Eve was the one commandment, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die." By this one
trespass of Eve, then Adam, all the evil of this world came. Their one sin introduced to their soul and
all men after, every sin of murder, rape, torture, adultery, fornication,
theft, lies, betrayals, gossip, selfishness, greed, a cold and unloving heart,
hatred, anger, and every kind of evil.
One sin did all this we see today……one single sin brought all this evil
into the world today. It is simply not
possible for us who have been born in sin, to truly comprehend how abominable
and entirely wicked even one sin is in God's sight. Yet it is true, Jesus made all these sins His
own on the cross that we might be saved.
The Bible says "Christ died for all, that they which live should
not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose
again."
