Equality of Sin

All sin is equal in God's eyes, murder is equal to hate, lying to cursing, it is all sin. Sin is just a word for describing something anti-God. A lot of people may not see it that way but we need to. Sin is powerful, influential and unfortunately contageous. Imagine yourself in God's place. A friend continually offends you, and when you confront about it, they apologize sincerely. But next thing you know they do it again! That's how we are a lot of times with God, we are truly sorry, but then we fall back into sin! It doesn't matter much whether a friend bloodies your nose or kicks you in the shins, it still is hurtful to your relationship. The same with God, the more we offend our relationship with him, the worse off we are. Thankfully our God is a God of Grace and he will love and forgive us no matter what. But that still doesn't let us off the hook. A good friend forgives, but still has the wounds.
