For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
One point doesn’t seem like much, but when it has to do with offending God’s law, it might as well be a million, for to offend the law in “one point,” is to be “guilty of the whole law.” One point doesn’t seem like much, but it is enough to still determine who wins or loses a game. However, the law of God is no game. One point on a test score doesn’t seem like much, but it can still be the difference between a passing and a failing grade.
But the man or woman that offends the law of God in one point will forever perish. One point still counts, and in the matter of offending God’s law, it counts a great deal. How does a Holy God deal with one who is guilty of “the whole law?” He will by no means clear them. His law is too strict. His justice is too inflexible. No, ONE POINT doesn’t seem like much, but it is a matter of life and death in the matter of keeping God’s law fully, completely and perfectly.
Thank God for Jesus Christ who did for me what I couldn’t do for myself! He put away my sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (Hebrews 9:26) How? The law has no claims on One who has committed no sin or has in no way offended God’s law in ONE POINT.
