When we begin putting sin (Sin being our rebellion against God's will and/or His ways) on a grading scale (one sin is worse than another) we might as well be saying that God's grace isn't sufficient (or enough) to cover ALL sins. Now, certainly sins consequences will vary depending on the sin, but God's grace is always the same, always consistent. Bottom line: It doesn't matter what you've done ...or how bad your past might seem, God's grace is sufficient for the worst of sinners. Therefore I encourage you today to live in His wonderful, undeserved, yet overabundant, grace!
Romans 3:20-24 (NLT)
20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with Him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. 22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty for our sins.
