It's been said that whether someone is a vicious dictator or they steal a pack of chewing gum from the grocery store, all sin is the same before God.

00:10

Is that true? Well, the Bible does say that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and that when a person breaks one law, they're guilty of breaking the whole thing.

00:18

So while there's some truth to the statement that God sees all sin as the same, it's also not true. The Bible does say some sins are worse than others.

00:26

For example, Jesus says that all sins will be forgiven the children of man in whatever blasphemies they utter.

00:31

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness. So clearly there's at least one sin that's worse than all others.

00:38

By the way, we've addressed the topic explaining the unforgivable sin. You can look it up later. Here's another one. Flee from sexual immorality.

00:45

Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

00:51

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God? So glorify

00:56

God in your body. So sexual sin has a uniqueness to it that's different than all other sins.

01:02

And there are many other examples that tell us God doesn't view all sins the same. And neither should we.

01:07

By doing so, we make morality relative. Well, I can't judge someone else because I've sinned too, so we're both sinners.

01:13

Let's all just love each other. At the topic of judgment, that's another one we've addressed. When we try to respect each other's badness, we actually cheapen

01:21

God's goodness. We need to view right and wrong and love and even hate, not through our eyes, but through the eyes of God.
