Highlights
from James Two
For
the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who
has broken all of God's laws. James
2:10
Meditate. Consider God’s Ten Commandments.
Whenever I hear someone accuse a person or group of breaking God’s Commandments or degrees, I cringe. There but by the grace of God go I. I cannot judge someone for their actions because I am not perfect. Usually, the rational is that God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. If the sinner were repentant, they would change their ways. But in reality, they don’t change. They may seem happy—content—in their current lifestyle.
Not that I was ever in need, for I
have learned how to be content with whatever I have. Philippians 4:11
They may
even feel close to God. Are they are fooling themselves—or society has deceived
them? Deceived. We are told repeatedly in the Old and New Testaments not to be
deceived.
But be careful. Don't let your
heart be deceived so that you turn away from the LORD and serve and worship
other gods. Deuteronomy
11:16
But evil people and impostors will
flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived. 2 Timothy 3:13
Be
careful. Follow God’s Commandments and guidelines on how to live. Encourage and
warn others about being ethical in the
You must warn each other every day,
while it is still "today," so that none of you will be deceived by
sin and hardened against God. Hebrews
3:13
Have you
warned anyone today…at any time in your life? Can you keep God's Laws?
Prayer
– Lord God, help me to be bold in warning others that we all need to follow
Your Commandments.
