Glory of God

Romans 3:23 (New International Version)
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,


So in a couple of the conversations I've had lately, either about my testimony or about joy, the idea that some people have better sin than others comes up. The idea that I can pat myself on the back that at least I never did anything that bad. My problem is that my testimony seems less influential because I don't have a dramatic conversion story. And both ideas are just wrong. One is pride and the other is some other weird thing that keeps me from accomplishing God's purpose, and that's just another sin, There is no sin scale, right? All have sinned and fall short. And God's grace is for all of us. And will all be forced to make the decision to accept it. Or not.
