For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10). We are all lawbreakers, no exceptions, not because we have broken every law of God, but because we have broken *The Laws of God, your Creator*. The slightest transgression of any divine law condemns and kills your soul. Any lie, lust, or unclean desire brings you under the condemnation of God. If you stand before a judge guilty of murder and say, "Your honor, you know I've never committed adultery against my wife." The judge still will not let you off the hook for committing murder. The good judge will not let the one bad thing you've done go unpunished, even though you have not committed 100 other crimes. Just stop trying to blame your sins on someone else, and take ownership of them. You committed your sins; they belong only to you, not someone else. You better get rid of your sins at the Cross. You will pay for your sins forever in Eternity if die with your sins unforgiven.
Human nature defends itself by saying, "I have done this and that, but never that." But any sin is as sinful as any other sin; some sins carry worse consequences here on earth, but every sin in God's sight is heinous and hateful. We are all transgressors of God's law (we fail to walk the line, we to step over the line), and we are all guilty and in dire need of the Savior of sinners. Human nature will tell you all the things it has never done, but it doesn't mention all the sins it has committed in secret that no one knows about. Human nature judges others without mercy, it classifies others, and step on others to gain what it wants.

The Law of God is a perfect unit - like a mirror. If you break any part of the holy mirror of God's perfect law, you have ruined it, and you have condemned yourself. You are a lawbreaker, you have broken THE LAW OF GOD. You show partiality and favoritism to others - This is EVIL according to Scriptures (James 2:4). You have never even gotten to first base, when it comes to keeping God's law. The Law of God is like ten bowling pins, you try to throw a strike every day, but you throw a gutter ball every time. You never can throw a "Strike" morally, no matter how much you try, because on your very best day, you're still a sinner. The ball you are using (human self-effort) is warped, and bent to evil. Your lame excuses won't work on your death bed. Human nature say, "Don't tell me, don't pressure me."
Human nature is brilliant when it comes to concocting excuses to sin and reject Christ. Human nature says, "I've lived a pretty good life, I have no regrets." Human nature defends itself, "I have never done this, this, this, or that. I did do this, but I didn't do that." Some of your life may seem good in your own eyes, but not in God's holy sight. "All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good (Proverbs 15:3; 16:2; 21:2)." For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10). The Judge of all the earth doesn't want to Judge you, He wants to save you. God became a sinless Jewish man, and then He bore your sins and bled to death for you on Calvary's Cross. (I Corinthians 15:1-4) He is risen from the dead and wants to show mercy to your guilty soul. Christ Jesus is rich in Mercy. Jesus saves sinners according to His Mercy (Titus 3:5).
But God's Mercy can never be earned. There is coming a day when you will not receive mercy, if you die in your sins. There's will be no mercy at the Great White Throne Judgment, only Divine Justice. By God's law your sins are learned and felt, now tremble at the Law you've spurned, turn your guilty soul toward the Cross where the Lamb of God died for you, Mercy there is great, and Grace is Free, pardon there will be multiplied to you, your sin-burdened soul will find liberty at CALVARY. Close with the Blood of the Cross; draw nigh to the Savior; call upon His name in truth and sincerity; trust to His Blood implicitly. Be wise now unbelieving sinner, plead guilty to breaking God's law and rejecting His dear Son, run to the Mercy of God in Christ, ask the merciful Savior to save your guilty soul now (Romans 10:3-23).
