First, Understand This:
No one is going to hell because they broke the law. People go to hell for one reason: Rejecting Jesus Christ — the only one who fulfilled the law perfectly.
- 🔹 John 3:18 – “He who does not believe is condemned already.”
- 🔹 Romans 3:20 – “By the law is the knowledge of sin,” but it cannot save you.
So if we’re saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9), not keeping the law, why even talk about laws people break?
✅ The Law Shows Us Why We Need Jesus
The law reveals what sin is — and how much we all fall short.
🔸 Romans 7:7 – “I would not have known what sin was except through the law…”
So here are some God’s laws that are still holy and good, which many people break today — not to condemn you, but to remind us why we all need Jesus every second.
⚖️ Common Laws People Break Today (That Show Our Need for Grace)
God’s Law (from Old Covenant) | Modern Example | Scripture Reference |
---|---|---|
Do not commit adultery | Fornication, sleeping around, watching porn | Exodus 20:14 / Matt 5:28 |
Do not steal | Scamming, fraud, cheating in business | Exodus 20:15 |
Do not lie | Lying to cover mistakes, false identity online | Exodus 20:16 |
Honor your parents | Disrespect, rebellion | Exodus 20:12 |
No other gods | Idolizing fame, money, self | Exodus 20:3 |
Do not murder | Hatred, abortion, violence | Exodus 20:13 / Matt 5:21-22 |
Do not covet | Envying others’ lives, jealousy | Exodus 20:17 |
Do not bear false witness | Gossip, false accusations | Exodus 20:16 |
Do not use God’s name in vain | Using “God” carelessly or jokingly | Exodus 20:7 |
Remember the Sabbath | Working nonstop with no rest or worship | Exodus 20:8-11 |
Keep yourself holy | Fornication, homosexual acts, impurity | Leviticus 18:22, 1 Cor 6:18-20 |
💥 The point is: Everyone has broken these. That’s why Jesus came.
🚫 Will You Go to Hell for Breaking These?
Not if you believe in Jesus.
- 🔹 Romans 4:8 – “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.”
- 🔹 Romans 10:4 – “Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
- 🔹 1 John 2:1 – “If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
🙏 What Should You Do?
Not try harder to keep every law by your strength — but trust in Jesus fully.
Galatians 2:21 – “If righteousness comes by the law, Christ died for nothing!”
Instead:
- Acknowledge you fall short (we all do).
- Believe Jesus paid for all your sin — past, present, and future.
- Walk with Him daily, in love and faith — not fear and guilt.
- Let the Holy Spirit lead you into freedom, not condemnation.
🔥 Final Truth: If you are in Christ, God will never judge you by the law. He already judged Jesus in your place.
David story
Even though he was a man after God’s heart, God still said:
“You shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.”
— 1 Chronicles 22:8
— 1 Chronicles 22:8
🔥 What the Law Could Not Do, Jesus Did:
Under the law:
If you sin, you are guilty of all (James 2:10).
Your book (record) is stained.
God counts sins against you.
Even After your sacrifice.
It only cover but your stain
But in Christ:
“Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.”
— Romans 4:8
Let’s look at what the Bible shows — not to condemn you, but to reveal our deep need for grace, and why Jesus is the only one who can save and sustain us.
😔 Sins We Break Without Even Knowing (According to God’s Law)
Hidden Sin | What It Means | Scripture | Modern Example |
---|---|---|---|
🧠 Evil thoughts | Just thinking sinfully is sin | Matthew 5:28 / Mark 7:21 | Fantasizing, revenge, lustful imagination |
👀 Lustful looking | Looking with sexual desire = adultery in heart | Matthew 5:28 | Looking at people online or offline with desire |
😡 Anger = murder | Hatred = same spirit as murder | Matthew 5:21-22 | Cursing someone in traffic, holding grudges |
🗣 Gossip | Talking about others behind their back | Romans 1:29 | Spreading news about someone’s failure |
😐 Being unthankful | Ingratitude is rebellion | Romans 1:21 | Complaining often, not giving thanks to God |
💬 Idle words | Every careless word is judged | Matthew 12:36 | Joking wrongly, slandering, careless talking |
📱 Idolatry | Loving anything more than God | Exodus 20:3 | Addicted to phone, money, fame, celebrities |
⏰ Not resting with God | Ignoring Sabbath/rest in Christ | Hebrews 4:9-11 | Never praying, never sitting quietly with God |
👃 Pride | Pride is a sin before God | Proverbs 6:17 | Feeling better than others, self-righteousness |
💔 Unforgiveness | Not forgiving others = blocking grace | Matthew 6:15 | Keeping record of wrongs, silent bitterness |
👂 Hearing but not doing God’s Word | Hearing = not obeying | James 1:22 | Listening to sermons but ignoring them |
💸 Not giving | Refusing to help the poor or give | Proverbs 28:27 | Closing your heart when someone’s in need |
💤 Knowing good but not doing it | Even not doing good is sin | James 4:17 | Knowing you should pray or repent and delaying |
🕵️♂️ Judging others | Judging = setting yourself up as God | Romans 2:1 | Saying “she’s fake” or “he’s too sinful” |
💼 Trusting self/work | Living independent of God | Jeremiah 17:5 | Saying “I made myself,” without God |
💭 Worrying | Worry = unbelief in God’s care | Matthew 6:25-34 | Always anxious instead of trusting God |
❗ The Shocking Truth: Most of us break these laws every day — without knowing. That’s why Jesus didn’t come to give us more laws, but to fulfill them and save us by grace.
John 1:17 – “The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
🛐 What Should You Do?
Not try to keep every law perfectly — that’s impossible. Instead:
- ✅ Rest in Christ: “There remains a rest for the people of God… whoever has entered God’s rest has also ceased from his own works.” — Hebrews 4:9-10
- ✅ Trust that: Jesus kept every law for you. You are not judged by the law anymore. Even when you fail, Jesus intercedes for you.
🔐 Key Scriptures for Comfort:
Truth | Scripture |
---|---|
Jesus fulfilled the law for you | Matthew 5:17 |
You are no longer under the law | Romans 6:14 |
You are saved by grace, not works | Ephesians 2:8-9 |
Your sins are forgiven forever | Hebrews 10:14 |
God will not impute sin to you | Romans 4:8 |
You are free from condemnation | Romans 8:1 |
You have an Advocate if you sin | 1 John 2:1 |
🧎♂️ Pray This:
“Lord Jesus, now I understand. I fall short daily, even in things I don’t know. But I believe You fulfilled the law for me. I trust You, not myself. Thank You for forgiving even the hidden sins. I rest in Your grace, not in fear. Let Your Spirit lead me every day, in peace and truth. Amen.”
🕊️ If You Still Try to Be Holy by the Law:
You’re falling from grace (Galatians 5:4)
You’re under a curse (Galatians 3:10)
You’re saying Christ died for nothing (Galatians 2:21)
— Romans 8:2
David story after all the sacrifices. His story still stain.. A man after God heart Acts 13:22 (KJV)
Even David, a man after God’s heart, couldn’t build the temple because of bloodshed. His hands were stained. But now, in Christ, your hands are washed clean, not by your works but by His blood. You are not holy because you avoided sin. You are holy because you believed the One who bore your sin. Under the law, one sin disqualifies you. Under grace, one Savior qualifies you forever.”
❓If All Broke the Law, and None Are Righteous — How Can Anyone Enter Heaven?
The Bible’s answer is clear but shocking to the religious mind: No one enters heaven by keeping the law. All who enter heaven do so only by faith in Jesus.
📖 1. The Law Shows Us Our Sin, Not How to Be Righteous
“By the law is the knowledge of sin.”
— Romans 3:20
“There is none righteous, no, not one.”
— Romans 3:10
so everybody follow the laws in Old Testament,God people yet none was righteous enough to enter heaven. All where sinner but those who serve God rested in Abrahim bosom, it wasn’t about sinless it was about who follow . God doesn’t change even the old, had to wait for Jesus to preach to them and bring them to God -1 Peter 3:18–19
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God…
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison.”.
Ephesians 4:8–10
“When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive…
(Now this, ‘He ascended’—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?)”
they were all in Abrahim bosom, Could not enter heaven because they were sinner but follow God,Luke 16:22–23 (Story of the rich man and Lazarus)
“…The beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom…
The rich man also died… And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments…”
God gave the law so people could realize they are sinners and turn to His mercy, not to climb into heaven through effort.Romans 4:2–3 (KJV)
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
🧎♂️ 2. God Knew We Couldn’t Keep the Law — So He Sent Jesus
“What the law could not do… God did by sending His own Son…”
— Romans 8:3
“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
— Romans 10:4
Jesus came and kept every law perfectly. Then, He took your punishment — and gave you His righteousness.
✝️ 3. Jesus Became Sin So You Can Be Made Righteous
“He [God] made Him [Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:21
That means:
- You are not righteous by behavior.
- You are righteous by identity in Christ.
- Your place in heaven is not earned, but given.
🔥 So, How Can Anyone Be Saved If All Are Guilty?
“Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.”
— Romans 4:8
That blessing comes not by works, but by faith in Jesus alone.
“For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God — not of works, so no one can boast.”
— Ephesians 2:8–9
🧠 Think of It Like This:
Without Christ | With Christ |
---|---|
You are guilty by the law | You are justified by faith |
Your works condemn you | His blood covers you |
God sees your sin | God sees Jesus in you |
No one can enter | All who believe are saved |
🧎🏽♂️ Final Answer:
✨ You can enter heaven not because you kept the law, but because Jesus did. And you believed in Him, trusted Him, received His gift.
.
David sinned, but never turned to idols. That’s why God still called him a man after His heart. You don’t lose salvation because you sinned—you lose it only if you reject Jesus and give yourself to another spirit. But if your heart stays with Christ, His blood keeps you clean. You are saved by faith, not by your strength.
