NKJV 365 Day Reading PlanSampel

Through Moses, God gave us His law, including the Ten Commandments. “You shall not have any other Gods before Me.” “You shall not lie.” “You shall not steal.” Every one of us has broken those commandments, and some of us have broken them many times—and His Word insists that the soul that sins shall die (Ezek. 18:20). The Bible also says that if you offend in just one point of the law, you are guilty of breaking it all (James 2:10). The righteous God says, “This is My standard. I am holy.” The problem is that we can’t get there on our own. And so Jesus makes us holy through faith in Him. The law of God was given that “every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God” (Rom. 3:19), then to drive us into the open arms of Christ, who alone can forgive and write His law on our hearts.
