Grace for your spirit January 19, 2009

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. James 2:10

By what standard do we choose to live? Do we choose to live by the Ten Commandments? O.K. then, can we list all ten of them? Oh, we want to live by them, but can’t quite remember all of them? Then can we declare that we never break any of them in any way? If we stumble on one point, we are guilty of breaking them all. Wouldn’t we rather live by the law of liberty in Christ. Jesus nailed those laws to the cross and forgives us when we stumble. Hallelujah. Still want to live by the Old Law? O.K. make plans for your three annual trips to Jerusalem, and don’t forget to bring a sacrificial lamb with you. You’re gonna need it.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
