ARE ALL SINS EQUAL?    BY STEVE FINNELL

Are all sins equal in God's eyes?

Matthew 9:19 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery. (NKJV)

Sexual immorality is the only valid reason that God gives for divorce and remarriage.

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.(NKJV)

Sexual immorality is the only sin against your own body.

1 Corinthians 10:8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.(NKJV)

God destroys sexually immoral people.

Jude 1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.(NKJV)

Sexual immoral people were destroyed by fire.

All sins are not the same, however, all unforgiven sinners will meet the same fate as the sexually immoral. All who reject Jesus are unforgiven.

2 Peter 2:6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;(NKJV)

There are Christians who live ungodly lives and there are others who have rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior, who live ungodly lives.

2 Peter 2:9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punish for the day of judgment,(NKJV)

 All Christians live ungodly lives by choice. Repentance is not optional. Non-Christians reject the forgiveness through Jesus Christ and live ungodly lives.

Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, and sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." (NKJV) 

NOT ALL SINS ARE EQUAL---BUT ALL UNFORGIVEN SINNERS RECEIVE THE SAME PUNISHMENT!
