Oftentimes, we don't hold ourselves according to the right standard. We think one sin may be greater than the other when in reality, they're all the same to God. His word tells us that we are all born sinners (Romans 3.23), and there is not a single person on Earth who is inherently 'good' and never sins (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

Your small lying problem is a big deal to God. Your struggle with lust pains Him. Ever gossiped with a friend? No bueno. But guess what? Because we all fall short of the glory of God, not one of us is more deserving of His grace than the other.

Our actions have consequences, and the Bible says that the wage of sin is death, meaning eternal separation from God's love. He provided the blueprint for us to avoid this and obtain the free gift of eternal life in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God needs to hold us accountable according to His word, but that doesn't mean it's His desire for us to perish! This is why He sent His son Jesus Christ, who knew no sin, to become sin on our behalf, that we might have the chance of being righteous like Him.

Jesus never committed a single sin during His time on Earth, and that's because He needed to be perfect in order to die and take on the sins of others. His blood was shed to pay the price for YOU.

When you truly come face-to-face with your sinful nature, how it separates you from God, and the sacrifice He made for you on the cross, the response is nothing short of humility.

This is what we call the gospel, the Good News! Jesus Christ died that you may live. When you choose to honor His sacrifice and pursue Him, He blesses you with eternal life in Heaven.

Jesus gave His life in exchange for yours, it's time for you to make the commitment. Surrender your old, your old ways, and your old perceptions to Him. Allow Him into your heart and put forth the effort in strengthening your relationship with Him. It's through you trusting Him with the life He blessed you with, that everything will change. You'll learn what love and peace truly are from the source Himself. Every void in your heart will be filled, and your purpose will be revealed.

The level of pure intimacy that can be found in a relationship with God is otherworldly. Once you get a taste of His love, once you start to see yourself through His eyes, all else fades away. Your past doesn't matter, it doesn't define you. You are now defined by your Creator and His love for you.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
