Partial Obedience Is Disobedience

King Saul partially carried out the commandment of God in regard to the Amalekites, and when charged with failure to obey, replied, “I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the Lord has sent me.” But the Lord rejected him as completely as tho he had refused to go against the Amalekites at all. So we read of people to-day who as emphatically claim to keep the commandments of God, but by voice and action reject some of them and adopt the commandments of men instead. But “the law of the Lord is perfect” (Ps. 19: 7), and can not be changed (Matt. 5: 17, 18). Neither does God himself change (Mal. 3: 6); therefore He says: “Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet shall stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all.” James 2: 10, A. R. V.
