James 2:8-13
"8 If you really fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. 9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not kill." If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; yet mercy triumphs over judgment."
I guess we all break laws all the time, and we think that it's ok if it's a minor law, or if everyone is doing it. James reminds us that breaking one law is the same as breaking the whole law as these laws originated from a Lawgiver - God. Transgressing on any of the laws is therefore transgressing the one Lawgiver.
God's law is our liberty and will gradually mould us to become "perfect and complete, lacking in nothing". Therefore, we should abide by the laws and count on Him for our lives and and believe that He will provide in he midst of the painful trials we go through in this life.
