#goldenrule

A sea captain was once asked what would it take to sink his mighty ship, and he replied, “Just One Tiny HOLE.”

So as one point making one hole will doom even the most perfect ship to the bottom, as today’s verse also says 'one point' failing against the 'whole law,' will mark you as guilty — and that one small hole will also sink you too.

You see, just following the Ten Commandments or the 'Golden Rule' were never intended to be the path to salvation. Instead, they are a MIRROR to how much we all need a savior to erase the 'holes' of sin in our lives. This is what Christ does for us when we step out of the ship of GOOD WORKS and into the boat of GOD FAITH.

Friend, your good works cannot and will not save you. Only Christ can wipe out all the holes of sin in your life.

Will you choose to remain in the ship of GOOD WORKS, or step into the lifeboat of GOD FAITH?

That choice, as always, is yours.

1. Empathy should be practiced. Make it a practice to try to put yourself in someone else's shoes. It might be anyone. People you meet on the street, loved ones, coworkers. To the best of your ability, try to comprehend what it's like to be them, what they're going through, and why they do what they do.

2. Compassion is something that you should practice. Learn to want to end someone else's misery once you can understand and feel what they're going through. And, if you're able, do something small to help them.
