"If all sins count, no one would make heaven"
Good day my dearly friends, I'm sure you all are good.
This topic popped out of my mind after I posted it on my WhatsApp status this morning.
I'm not sounding biblical, but the Holy Book stated that God has a punishment for all sinners. This era, we've succeeded in making some of our sins as deep sin and others insignificant. We've normalized lies, hatred as involuntary acts and assume God doesn't take count of them. What if God is taking record of all our sins? What if God is going to judge us with those sins we assumed they're insignificant? Would you make heaven?
I'd be focusing on the sin that's now rampant in this age and it's now more like God has no punishment for them anymore.
The Sin of lie
Some years ago during church outreach in my local church, we were preaching the Good tidings to this elderly man for salvation and he asked a question; "have you lied before?". We laughed and made the man to understand that we're all sinners and there's always a platform for us to change and adapt to Christ's lifestyle.
Lie is one of the major and neglected sin in our modern society. We overlook it and assume it doesn't matter to God.
The major point I want to buttress is the lies on age of people.
Are we together? You're victim already. Lol.
The lie on ages of people are now insignificant to this our modern days. We look at it as it's nothing serious and God has cancelled the punishment for liars and we are free.
Hold on guys,....God really cancelled the punishment for liars? Or it's me that's no current? Lol.
Let's look at some popular platforms on the lie on age.
Football age
It baffles me always when I see an old man with brown beards(fainted beards) called 21years old. Ha! This one that can produce my kind is 21years old?
Are you telling me that those ages tagged to footballers are real? The world of football has generalized this lie into the whole world and it's now rampant and common. Last week, one of our international player in my country celebrated his birthday and I was wowed when I saw that he just turned 24. Hahahah.(name unmentioned).
If this such lie is punishable to death, then the world of football has succeeded in leading us to hell. We should hold the football world responsible? God have mercy.
Employment Age
This point is the weirdest in my country. You would see people forging age declaration just to meet up the requirement age. So bad!
I learnt of a guy that has four age certificates so he could easily fit in to any age term.
Sometimes it's not the people's fault but the condition of the government.
You're a victim?- conscience is judging you already, ahahah!
This same fact goes to the religious system. Some churches has a framed age for you to be qaulified to work as a pastor or handle a unit in the church. This has made people to decreased their age in order to be accepted. Can you imagine that? Lying to work for God. Ha! You're doubting me? I have seen.
I wanted to stop here but, what about ladies that are scared to be called 30th?
Conclusion
Are you a victim of any of these lies?
If all sins are measured equally with their punishment, then just 1% of people in planet earth would make heaven.
If lying is measured with same punishment with killing, adultery, fornication etc, then it's only God's mercy that will save us.
The worst fact is that we can't control these lies anymore, it's living with us daily. The football bodies have tagged it legal and we've been blindfolded to see it as normal. The employment sectors have placed it into their regulations and it's now very normal to most countries. What would make the birth registration body(the law) to accept to change or adjust someone's age?.
Even the pastors that are supposed to preach against it are victims.
God have mercy on us.
Thank you for reading

I also agree that it's only God's mercy that can save us from everything. Thanks for this article, friend. I have a lot of realizations on this
