Are all sins equal?
WHAT IS SIN?
Sin is not a crime to be
PUNISHED, but a sickness to be
HEALED.
“I did not come to judge the world but
to save the world.” John 12:47
"The Church is a hospital, and not a
courtroom, for souls.” John Chrysostom
(c. 347-407 AD)
ARE ALL SINS THE
SAME TO GOD?
While the earthly consequences
of sin differ, the spiritual
consequences are the same.
“For whoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet stumble in one point, he is
guilty of all." James 2:10

The devil gently and little by little leads him on to
it, until he comes to the very pit of destruction,
and casts himself in.” John Chrysostom

WHAT IS A SIN?
Sin is any time I “miss the mark”.

be conformed to the image of His Son.” Romans

ABOUT SMALL SINS?

mirror the glory of the Lord, are being
transformed into the same image from glory to
glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2
