Amen. I won’t and can’t add anything to what Jesus Himself said in John 3:36:

“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them”

Doesn’t matter if you stole from the cookie jar or raped and chopped someone’s head off. Anything accounted differently is just redemption by works. Tough for us humans to grasp.

Cookie jar vs murder...

Even though both can be forgiven, that doesnt mean that rewards and losses are going to be the same for both actions, in fact we know they won’t be. We also know in the temporal world consequences for them are not equal either.

True, as one sin makes you a damned law-breaker, though the degree of punishment is in accordance with their degree of accountability. (Mt. 25:41,46; Lk. 10:13-15, 12:47,48; Rev. 20:11-15)
