Getting A BIGGER View Of SIN Jn5:14 s4e105

I got some very bad theology in a song at church last week.  The songwriter used the phrase that we have "regrets and mistakes" as we come to the altar.  As if it didn't offend anyone else. As if there was not a heavenly offense.  As if just by pulling up your bootstraps and doing a little bit better it would fix this problem. 

I think it is not what is regularly in the Bible.  Jesus talks frequently about the ugly, unpalatable uncomfortable word S-I-N.  Jesus has a BIG VIEW of SIN.  Our view, incorrectly in my judgment , is that it is just "regrets and mistakes." We have a LITTLE VIEW of sin, because it is just too uncomfortable to have a God-sized view of sin.

When we get a BIG VIEW of SIN, then we can get the appropriate sized view of the remedy necessary to address this big problem.  We then can get a BIG VIEW of the rescue, the substitutionary sacrifice and the payment for sin that such a big problem necessitates.  

The point isn't that OUR perspective of "regrets and mistakes" becomes His.
The point is that His perspective of (big) SIN becomes ours.
