My Big & Small sins

ok what re your big and small sins?......cos God knows i dont commit big sins like Iniquity and stuff.....i only tell really small white lies.....once in a month.......u know......Is dat how you are as well......lolllll

ok so some time ago i remember having a discussion at fellowship...about how big others sins were and how small ours were in comparence....(at least thats what we tell ourselves)

It was amazing to find out that we christians are very good at categorising and been judgemental to other people classifying them as big sinners while we were not....

so a liar looks at a fraudster and says to his conscience....ohhh am i better than the fraudster who steals....i just tell a little lie ever so often.....and the fraudster looks onto the Fornicator and says to himself i only do fraud ones in a while to provide for the family God Gave me......as i am the head and not the tail...

then the fornicator tells himself at least i will marry her one day so i am just sampling my goods before the original day,(there is nothing really wrong with that ...is it????)but at least i am not an adulterer sleeping with another woman while i was married....that must be far worst in Gods Book..

then the wife or friend only says to herself i only gossip when i am very angry or bored and that only happens few days a week.....so its a small sin....i mean we tell ourselves other people commit bigger sins by sleeping with their friends husband or by committing abortion.....but me i only gossip.....and spread rumours about others...so that is not so bad compared to what she did.......

i mean really the list of our classification goes on and on......

so really who owes who accountability, as we re constantly comparing our selves to others to make ourselves feel better...so in everywork of our lifes...we compare partners....we compare kids.....we compare wealth....we compare cars....we compare love...so we have learnt to do in our sins as well......classifying Iniquity as bigger sins and liars as small sin.......

I know this perfect life we inspire to live in christ can only be given to us by the spirit of christ...but why not remove the "plank in our eyes first before removing the sawdust in anothers eyes".....

Has it says in Rev 22: 14
( Blessed are they that do his commandment, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city, for outside are dogs, sorcerers and whoremongers, and murderers and idolaters and whosoever loves and tell a lie)

for me this passage classifies from the biggest of atrocities of sin to the smallest....i mean from Murderers, witchcraft to whoever told a lie.....(Just one lie)......so in other words we re all sinners....small sinners if it makes u feel better or a big sinner....In Gods Word there is no classification of sin....Its under one law.....

But Gods Mercy is so great.....that if we bring our sins before him he is merciful and graceful to forgive......of our sins....

Pls let us try and perfect our ways to be first good people..good neighbours...good friends...good wifes and husbands to each other .....before carrying the banner of christ in other peoples faces.....lets not make christians a bad example to the world......Let the Goodwill of Christs name be evident in our ways of life....our attitude towards others.....and not just in church on sunday or where other christians are gathered to exhibit our best christlike behaviour......But everywhere....May the Holy spirit perfect our ways in christ.....(Amen)...

Have a lovely day everyone.......
