Sin and Sin and More Sin

Well known preachers are proclaiming there is a difference between “willful sin” and “struggling with sin.” For those who don’t understand my Christian jargon, I will explain further.
Willful sin happens when a person lives in sin and denies his or her action is a sin. For example, a homosexual man who admits to being homosexual, lives that lifestyle, and believes his homosexuality is NOT a sin. In contrast a man “struggling with sin” would be a man struggling with homosexuality who admits he is a sinner and wants to stop that sin.
There is a growing thought that states a willful sinner is worse than a struggling sinner. People proclaim that “God sees the willing heart” and therefore He sympathizes with the struggle. This implies that God sympathizes with the sin as well. I want to firmly state that all humanity is under the curse and YOUR desire to be good will never save you or excuse your sin.
Paul writes in Romans 7:14-25 about his own struggle with sin. He admits he has a desire to be righteous, but he often fails. Paul acknowledges that he is constantly battling his flesh. Does Paul excuse his bad behavior? NO! Not at all! He calls himself a wretched man. Paul is a man struggling with sin; he is not a willful sinner. But, Paul would never say his desire to be righteous excuses his sin.
What does Jesus say? In Matthew 5:27-30 Jesus reveals that our sinful heart condition is just as punishable as our actions. He states that knowing and following the law “Thou shall not commit adultery” doesn’t excuse our sinful desire. These scriptures prove that the willful sinner and the one struggling with sin both deserve hell.
It isn’t correct to assume struggling with sin is less vile than willfully sinning. This may seem like bad news, but it is actually good news. Every person on this earth is a sinner. We can’t put our hope in anything but Christ redeeming grace. Our effort to stay righteous will produce some results, but we will eventually fail. Jesus and his forgiveness is our unshakable foundation.
When we realize our sinful desires and our sinful actions are both punishable, we also realize we have no ability to judge our fellow man.
