Not One Iota

“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” (James 2:10)

If a person could keep all God’s commands, which is impossible because then that person would be perfect like Jesus; but if one could, yet fail in only one point about a person or thing, that person sins against God’s authority and is guilty of all God’s laws. Disobeying God’s Word or twisting it to fit your circumstance—even if that one offense is a mere iota, just a speck—you are guilty.

If you’ve convinced yourself that God overlooked your particular or insignificant situation, He did not. If you think He “turned a blind eye”—ignored what you did wrong—He did not. But He may “turn a deaf ear”—refuse to listen to you, ignore your excuses. God doesn’t allow rewrites or twisted versions of His Word to oblige disobedience. He holds us accountable.
