How do we know that we are all guilty of breaking the law?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus teaches that even harboring anger or disdain for others makes us guilty of breaking the law.

According to Matthew 5:22, Jesus states that being angry with a brother without just cause or demeaning him equates to murder in God's eyes. This revelation emphasizes that the law addresses not just outward acts of disobedience but the sinful inclinations of the heart. The law serves to expose our guilt, illustrating that all people have broken commandments, not merely through actions but through motives and feelings as well. The depth of our sinfulness is seen in how we have rebelled against God, culminating in our need for Christ’s redemptive work to achieve true righteousness.
