No offense intended. As the saying goes, IT IS AS PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACE.
BUT verse 14 absolutely must be read with verse 15:
1 John 3:14-15 (HCSB)
14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers.
The one who does not love remains in death.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and
you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
There is no BIG SIN compared to a LITTLE SIN, is GOD's EYES. HE considers HATING to be EQUAL TO MURDER. Only mankind thinks of HIS SIN as less than someone else's SIN,
NOT GOD! I was a Volunteer Protestant Prison Chaplain for 15 years of my life, in two different Supermax Prisons. I used to tell the inmates,
"There is no Big Sin, Little SIN in the site of GOD. THOSE SINS ARE ALL EQUALLY BAD, in HIS site. The Worst Mass Murderer on Death Row, is NOT a worse Sinner than us. WE ARE AS BAD AS HIM. Strictly because of this VERSE:"
James 2:10 (NIV)
10
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
One so-called LITTLE SIN and YOU are GUILTY of breaking EVERY LAW IN THE BIBLE.
YOU CAN NEVER DO ENOUGH TO PAY FOR EVEN ONE OF YOUR SINS, YOU DESPERATELY NEED A SAVIOR!
That is what it is all about. JESUS PAID FOR ALL OF OUR SINS, ALL TO JESUS I OWE.
Please watch this video all the way through.
That is WHAT OSAS, means to our HEARTS, and we would not want it any other WAY.
I thank the one who turned me on to this OSAS Song.
