I overheard a conversation where they were trying to decide who was worse – Ben or Tiger. Tiger had multiple affairs as a married man. Yes – he cheated on his wife but he didn’t force people to have sex with him. Ben, while not married, forced young ladies to have sex with him. How do you judge which is worse?
Neither is worse. Both are sins in the eyes of God. Sin carries the same consequence. Sin separates us from God. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death…” Every sin will lead us to hell if we don't have the grace and forgiveness of Jesus.
“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” James 2:10
Every sin can also be forgiven. 1 John 1:7 tells us “The blood of Jesus purifies us from every sin.”
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
So the only conclusion I can draw is that both Ben and Tiger need to commit their lives to Christ. Only then can they receive forgiveness of their sin and move on with their lives.
