Doubts transformed to Revelations.

Romans 1:17~ "This Good News tells us God makes us right in his sight."

Romans 2:1~ "You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse!  When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourrself, for you who judge others do these very same things."

Romans 2:11~ "God does not show favoritism."

This past week I have been taking a closer look into the book of Romans... and ever since, I've had the same thought stuck in my head all week. "How in the world do we become holy enough in the eyes of God?  What makes us officially good enough to be assigned to Heaven's destination?"  So, what I got out of Romans 2:1 is if I condemn others who sin, Im just as bad.  But what if I say something as simple as "That girl needs Jesus."  Is that considered a judgemental comment, or a flat out statement to reasoning of her wicked ways?  I guess I've just been struggling with, how is it humanly possibly NOT to sin?  I mean just a comment like... "Shes awful."  Or, "He/She needs Jesus."  Or, if I have friends who partake in sexual relationships, and I occasionally find myself quick to anger or cursing... isn't that the same level of sinning?  After thinking about all of this...I dont think God has different "levels" of sin.  I think a sin IS a sin.  Black and white.  There is no line.  Well, if the "smallest" sin is equal to that "big" sin, how do we completely wash clean ALL of our sins?  I think the answer lies with... Once you are saved, you're saved.  My aunt Janelle randomly texted me this morning and it read, "Had these words come to me last night like a flood: saved is saved.  Period.  The blood of the lamb looks the same on everyone who wears it.  There is no such thing as MORE saved, or BETTER saved, or MORE DESERVING of being saved.  There are no BETTER Christians.  If you are saved you are saved."  Wow.  Its OUTSTANDING how God can interpret ones doubts into another individuals revelation.  It think without a doubt God spoke through Janelle, to speak to me.  Basically, by God's GRACE we are saved.  We are ALL human, so therefore we WILL sin and sometimes without even acknowleding our actions as a sin.  This is why Jesus died for us.  You are accepted into heaven once you accept Jesus into your heart.  It's THAT easy.  Some may take this sinning for granted, such as... "I am going to sleep with that man, and then afterwards ask God for forgiveness of my sin."  No.  Actions such as this are taking for granted God's mercy.  God is just, which means he can see through ALL evil and good intentions.  SO to sum everything up.  Dont feel like you are walking on egg shells just because you are a Christian.  God LOVES you, and he wants you to LOVE him unconditionally back.  Once this relationship is formed, you are saved, and right in his sight.
