Little sins warrant only a little hell. By Charles Spurgeon. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree. 1 Peter 2, verse 24. If the sacrifice provided by God for human sin must be none other than the Son of God himself, then sin is a gigantic evil, and the punishment of sin is stupendous also. In the same way, the moment we begin to mitigate our thought of hell's terrors, we also lower our idea of sin's evil. And with it, we also decrease our estimate of the Savior and His sin-atoning sacrifice. Little sins warrant only a little hell. Hence, only a little atonement is needed to save from this little hell. But grant that a divine Savior and His infinite sacrifice is needed to atone for sin, then sin must be exceedingly heinous to the pure and holy God, and the eternity of future punishment is justified. He was delivered over to death for our sins. Romans 4.25 God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us. 2 Corinthians 5, verse 21. He was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53, verse 5.
