Default If you commit the least of these you have commited them all.

What type of small sins do you hold onto? Do you overeat? Drink to much soda? Watch to much TV? Think about the little things you do and really see how dirty your rags are and your need for christ.

Do you believe everyone dies while holding on to these small sins you speak of?

Concerning the OP

Think about the little things you do and how dirty your rags are, might you die holding on to a few of those dirty rags?

Stop focusing on sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin sin.
Focus on LOVE.

LOVE is the fullfillment of the law.
Where there is love, there is no need for the law, for there is nothing evil to restrain.

Your focus is on the wrong thing.
Stop focusing on sin. It is death. You are maybe not realizing it, but you are essentially trying to put chains and shackles on yourself and on others.
Christ has set you free from those chains and shackles. Are you going to turn around then and put them back on?

Meditate on the two commands. NOT on sin.
When you focus on sin continuously, that's like laying down in a coffin and hanging out for the fun of it.

I hope you understand what I'm saying here, friend.
peace.

No that is not my point, my point is "If you commit the least of these you have commited them all".

Sin is sin in Gods eyes whether you are a murderer or an overindulger they are the same in Gods eyes.

Do they damage your health or tempt you with immoral desires? God is the decider and He said that if you break the least of His laws you break them all.
