“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.” (James 2:10)
Don’t confuse doing the right thing some of the time with being righteous. You may have never murdered anyone, but that doesn’t clear your rap sheet of the charges of pride, greed, or laziness.
Sin is any act that falls short of the righteousness of God.
Don’t look down on others because they sin differently than you, and don’t elevate yourself based upon the sins you haven’t committed.
Prisons are full of all different types of criminals. Imagine a bunch of inmates try to prove which one is the best – even if one wins, he is still behind bars. The winner and the loser get the same prize.
Own your sin, so He can forgive it. Repentance is the beginning of the road to redemption.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
