Being that much short in crossing a valley is much more disastrous! It doesn’t matter how focussed, how fit, how prepared you are, what really matters in the ravine jump is making the whole distance. Anything short of this and disaster is assured!
So too with your life! Partial obedience means we fall short, and thus we are damned. The only way to have complete obedience is through faith – believing that Jesus’ sacrifice is the bridge between death and life, failure and victory.
