The real reason why big sins are big and the small ones are small

Actually, there really isn’t such a thing as big or small sins. In the garden of Eden, God told Adam and Eve not to eat fruit from a particular tree in the middle of the garden. They had the rest of the trees in the garden to eat from.
Sin was a matter of disobedience. Disobedience to God’s command and deviance from the pattern he has set. For God, there isn’t any big or small sins. They are all sins.
When I begin to think of myself better than others because I don’t engage in the “big” sins like others, I’m on dangerous ground. this is because I am as guilty as those “big” sinners.
But we have this hope: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
