sin

 The bible says if anyone commits just one sin that means anyone is guilty of all of it.   That means it is impossible for anyone to get into heaven.   That is just the reality of the situation.   A lot of people comprise and think well if I do x God will forgive me for this one.   Meaning many people make the mistake of sort of putting sins into categories:  that this one is big this one is small and that God will forgive me for the small sin.   But once anyone does this they will go directions they would rather not go.   Sin is sin there are no exceptions sin is a capital offense in God’s court room so to speak.   If anyone says they do not sin they are sinning by omission.   I am going to try and be careful here  and I do not want to offend anyone with this statement:  but in my opinion not sinning or trying not to sin just to get into heaven when you die strikes me as selfish I wish I felt different.   I believe anyone should not or try not to sin because it is emotionally healthy for you and because God does not want you to sin.   But everyone will sin whether they mean to or not.   But the idea of putting sin into a particular category  is  a mistake or playing Russian Roulette.   But there is awesome news that should help everyone not worry because God sent his son Jesus Christ to die in our place he nailed every sin everyone  who is a follower of Jesus Christ committed or will commit in the future.   Or to put it another way God paid the price for every sin we will ever commit.   All we must do is ask for God’s holy spirit  to come in our hearts and he will give everyone peace in their heart.   But that does not mean in anyway that they will not have sadness depression and confession but at least once anyone asks God’s holy spirit into their heart they will have peace that surpasses all human understanding.   Clinical depression is scary because it is usually not understandable it is not something anyone can talk you out of it.   But at least those who deal with depression  at least   they have Christ in their lives.   If you do not have Christ in your life or mediation something that keeps one grounded and is a release then they will probably self-destruct in some way.   I also believe one can take the notion of sin to far hence: religious fanaticism I do not think fanaticism of any kind is healthy.   There are those who use their faith to justify meanness and cruelness, which is a perversion of their faith.  It would be better for them to not have discovered religion in the first place if they use their faith to justify meanness and cruelness.   When one dies and is judged by God he stands there and has all our sins posted in front of us the devil is presenting all the evidence against us because the bible says one sin is enough to keep us out of heaven which again makes it impossible for anyone to enter heaven but because of what Jesus Christ did taking our place for sin he is our advocate.   The word advocate is the best way to describe what Jesus Christ is for every believer.   So when we are standing at the pearly gates and God is judging us and Satan is presenting all of our sins to God to keep us out of heaven because Jesus Christ is our advocate we have nothing to worry about because Jesus Christ paid the price for our sin he erases every sin we committed and we are found not guilty.   But salvation is a gift from God to us there is no deed we can accomplish for us to get to heaven it is a gift all we have to do is ask God for his holy spirt to enter our heart for the peace that suppress all human understanding because Jesus Christ is our one and only advocate.
