commit one, commit them all...

i know it's been awhile since my last post; partly due to my busy schedule and partly due to my own walk (or lack thereof) recently.

but i was reading through james 2 and there is a verse in there that has been weighing on my mind recently.

james 2:10
"for whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking it all."

sin is sin, whether big or small. but God treats them the same, this what makes him fair and just. part of me is scared by this, part of me is thankful for this. as humans, believer or not, we compare ourselves to others. we feel the need to minimize our own sin against others who have "bigger" or "more" sin in their life.

as for me, i sin. i sin everyday. sure, i'm not committing murder everyday, but in God's eyes that doesn't matter. the important thing to remember is to genuinely repent! repent in our hearts to God. ask Him for a clean and renewed heart. if we do this, He will forgive us.

but stop comparing yourself against others, sin is sin; big or small. get back on the bus and start over again. even if it is everyday you fall off, get back on everyday.
