The Farther
The Farther you get down the Road,
With the pursuit of fulfilling God’s Will…
The more difficult it becomes to seperate what constitutes Deadly Sins;
And so we Pray thus: Lord! According as you know what amount, is which?
The more one learns about the Holiness of God. The more one experiences Gods Love and Grace in ones life the more one realises just how dreadful so called little sins are and the more one seeks to avoid acting against God.
A Little white lie, was enough to cause the Son of God to humble himself to the life of a servant and the shameful, degrading, violent death on a cross.

@Jason_Ward, my understanding of the unforgivable sin is a whole life in rebellion against God, who at some point lets people have their way, thus ending them up in exile from his loving presence.
All other sins, small and large, break God’s laws and make us guilty before God, our Judge.
The only way of escape from his guilty verdict is fleeing to Jesus, whose death takes our verdict on himself and gives us his righteousness.

Curious. In my experience, those deadly ones were the easiest to identify.
The only way to discern good from evil is to seek God, store His word up in your heart, and call out to Him for your every need according to how He guides us to do so in His word.
If there is any part of your conscience that is not completely clear, that is the best place to start, as that is where God is telling you the right thing to do. Boldly confessing sins will expand your awareness, build your confidence, and make you strong.
Because when you know, deep down, that if you do something wrong, you will confess it, it will help you not do it to begin with. Holding dishonesty pushes God away.
