I always had trouble considering sin equal. Like, a child molester is the same as me when I gossiped behind someone’s back. Sin is sin. It doesn’t matter if you’re a monster or told a white lie. How is that possible? I want to think that I’m NOT the same, that I’m somehow held higher in God’s esteem because all my sins are not so bad ones. I always thought there had to be a grid or level where God placed you, according to how bad your sins were, and that somehow you were better the higher you were. I know that doesn’t make sense and that it’s most def not biblical, but to a certain extent I think most Christians think that. Or, on a broader scale, I thought that God would divide sinners in 2 categories at least. Ones that sinned against people (rape, murder, etc) and the rest of us “light weight” sinners. That is more fair! but isn’t life just a series of unfair events??? even a little sin condemns us.
like a peanut.
someone allergic to peanuts wouldn’t say, “well, since that brownie only has a little peanuts, I guess I’ll have a bite!” Even a little will kill you.
We are so unworthy! Who are we not to forgive someone with all the grace poured down upon us? even a serial rapist killer.
