how much sin have you been forgiven?

"People who have a weak view of there own sin... will carry a weak view of grace and love. When Jesus was at the home of Simon the Pharisee, watching the sinful woman wiping his feet with her tears, he said the one who has been forgiven much loves much. And those who have been forgiven little, love little (Luke 7:47). If we don't realize the magnitude of what we've been forgiven, we may identify more with the Pharisee than the woman."
