I am not that bad a sinner!

All Sin Equally

I once met a woman who said she had never stolen anything her entire life. “Do you mean you’ve never made a copy at work and didn’t pay for it? Never taken a pen or pencil or paper clip?” Whether it’s a copy or a car, she was still a thief… still a transgressor. Ignorance of the Law is no excuse.  

We’ve all heard the expression “Ignorance of the Law is no excuse.” The Bible uses the word “transgression” for the violation of the law. Whether or not we know the law we are transgressors of the law when we violate its standard.

 Romans 5:15  "But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one, the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many."

Remember that Jesus was delivered up for our transgressions, whether committed in ignorance or knowledge of the Law. Though transgressors each, we all find grace for our breaking of the law through Jesus Christ.
