God values sin differently, a lie is not equal to a murder and murder is not equal to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. If there are different values of sin, then are there also differences in rewards in Heaven? Does a person who has ministered salvation to millions get more credit than the person who only shared Christ with one person?
In (Leviticus 20:8-27), the Lord gives Moses some rules governing the children of Israel. In these verses, cursing your parents, adultery, incest among mothers, sons, fathers and daughters-in-law, homosexuality, communing with familiar spirits, sex with animals are all punishable by death.
Other sins like incest with a sister or seeing your sister naked, having sex with a woman during her menstrual cycle, sex with an aunt, sleeping with your brother’s wife, do not carry death as a penalty. But they are no less sins against God’s word. By these edicts by God we know that God Himself sees sin in degrees.
We should not confuse this with God’s grace or mercy, or our New Covenant with Christ. These aspects may affect the way God has chosen to deal with man, but that is separate and apart from God’s judgment and work with respect to the salvation of man, which is to say, God does not feel any differently about man’s sin or the degrees of it, He merely made accommodations with forgiveness, these are separate issues.
I may not like okra, which I don’t, but if that is all that is available to me, I would eat it if I was hungry enough, but that does not change my view about okra. God has made accommodations for man in many ways over time. Heaven, Death, and Hell are accommodations for man because man was never intended to experience any of that.
“Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and His Angels” (Matthew 25:41)
The Lake of Fire was not originally intended for man.
Noah was no Abraham or Job, but God made an accommodation with him during the Flood. Noah was the best of what was left on the planet. Israel was an absolute adulterous people, but they were not as bad as the rest of the people on the planet. They had a heart for God, but if you consider the sheer number of times they kept falling into idolatry, its no wonder the Lord finally opened up salvation to the Gentiles as well.
Theology suggests sins have varying degrees:
Venial sins are minor sins, white lies, completely forgivable, like telling your kid to say you’re not at home when you really are to someone on the phone.
Unintentional sins are those sins you are not aware of, like borrowing someone’s pen and walking off with it absent minded.
Presumptuous sins are intentional
Mortal sins are sins unto death, bringing judgment on yourself (Galatians 5:16-21; Rev 14:9-10)
Jesus spoke of degrees of punishment:
“It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you” (Matthew 11:22).
“It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment than for thee”. (Matthew 11:24)
Matthew 10:15
15″ Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.”
Luke 20:46-47
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
John 19:11
11 “Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin”.
Matthew 26:24
24 “The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born”.
Both God and Jesus suggest there are degrees of sin and therefore there are different and personally customized punishments for the level of sin a person commits. Those in the tribulation passed up many chances to repent and did not turn away from their sin (Rev 9:20-21).
God separates those who worship the Beast and have his mark as having a greater torment in the Lake of Fire (Rev 14:11).
There are many other places you can find biblical support of this point, as are for rewards both now and in heaven.
