Bible Questions Answered:
“What
is the idea behind James 2:10?...”
Wendell/
Chicago, Illinois U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
James
2:10 KJV
For
whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he
is guilty of all.
The Rabbinical thought here is that one may not take up
some of The Law on one hand and discard the rest of The Law on the
other hand.
Today we call this “pick and choose, religion.”
Pick the parts you will uphold, and cast away the parts
you don't want to uphold.
The Law, to the Rabbis, was as a chain. And if someone
failed at one link of The Law, the wholeness of The Law was
undermined.
Now what of today? Our God requires perfect obedience,
not partial!
Matthew 7:21-27 NLT (True Disciples)
21
“Not everyone who calls out to Me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the
Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of My
Father in heaven will enter.
22
On judgment day many will say to Me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in
your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many
miracles in your name.’
23
But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from Me, you
who break God’s laws.’
(Religion with all it's pomp and ceremony, without a
personal relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ, is nothing but a
deception, leading to spiritual death.)
(Building on a Solid Foundation)
24
“Anyone who listens to My teaching and follows it is wise,
like a person who builds a house on solid Rock.
25
Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the
winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is
built on bed Rock.
26
But anyone who hears My teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish,
like a person who builds a house on sand.
27
When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house,
it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
The
Word:
Exodus
19:5 KJV
Now
therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for
all the earth is Mine:
Deuteronomy
11:1 KJV
Therefore
thou shalt love The Lord thy God, and keep His charge, and His
statutes, and His judgments, and His commandments, always.
Luke
11:28 KJV
But
He said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear The Word Of God, and
keep it.
John
15:9,14 KJV
9
As The Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My
love.
14
Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
James
1:25 NLT
But
if you look carefully into The Perfect Law that sets you free, and if
you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will
bless you for doing it.
II
John 1:6 KJV
And
this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the
commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should
walk in it.
Revelation
14:12 NLT
This
means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently,
obeying His commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.
Prayer:
Matthew
25:21 KJV
His
lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou
hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over
many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
