Okay my pastor did a whole sermon on this one. In simplest terms, the worst sin in God's eyes is pride. Why do you think the devil is where he is today? Pride. Satan was so proud of himself that he thought he was better than God. You know the devil was an angel originally right? Lucifer. And the he and some other angels told God they were better than him and he and the angels that supported him were thrown into Hell and are now Satan and his demons. so anyways Pride is the worst sin. This question has a couple different answers from many different aspects of moral theology.

It is commonly advanced that pride is the worst sin, for it is the root of every sin. Even though pride is one of the seven cardinal sins, it is present in the other six as a motive almost every single time. Pride is also given as the first sin, committed by Adam and Eve as well as being the sin of the angels, which caused Lucifer to fall.

Some reference the worst sin as that which will never be forgiven, as alluded to in Mark 3:28-29. In this passage it is asserted that those that blaspheme against the Holy Ghost shall never have forgiveness but be guilty of an everlasting sin. Church Fathers and theologians and exegetes have understood this to mean the unrepentant sinner, for God is able to forgive any sin, except that for which a soul does not wish to be forgiven. This hardness of heart against God is a blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, for the Holy Ghost is sent to each man, giving him actual graces towards repentance. A man who refuses actual graces, despises God, shows himself ungrateful to the Divine economy and ultimately defies God's plan for redemption. Thus he shall never be forgiven it, but take it with him into hell, forever. Of course, such a defiance also involves pride, which further supports that pride is the worst of sins, and none worse than blasphemy.

Chillingworth's worst sin in "The Scarlet Letter" is arguably his transformation into a vengeful and malevolent force, consumed by a desire for revenge against Dimmesdale. By exploiting the minister's guilt and suffering, Chillingworth betrays both his duty of care for his wife, Hester, and his humanity as he seeks to destroy another man's life for his own satisfaction.

How do you remain in Christs love?

Jesus Christ loved you before you even spoke your first word, or before you were born! When you give your life to Christ, there is hope for you. :) All you have to ask Jesus is to come into your life. Even if you sin he still loves you. Just ask him for forgiveness. He knows you might goof up. Sin to him is all the same, from lying to murder, he says its all the same. there is no worst or mild sin. There is just sin. But he will never stop loving you :)


Are there degrees of sin?

only in our eyes we see some sin to be worst than others due to society and how we were brought up but in the eyes of God all sin is sin. even if you only sin in your heart or mind it is sin. The Church's understanding of sanctifying grace has led theologians to discern two degrees of sin, that being venial and mortal sin. Venial sin is a slight offense against the law of God in matters of less importance, or in matters of great importance it is an offense committed without sufficient reflection or full consent of the will. Venial sin weakens the individual but it does not deprive him of spiritual life. Mortal sin is a grievous offense against the law of God. This sin is called mortal because it deprives of spiritual life and brings everlasting death and damnation on the soul. Both types of sin are, of course, to be avoided. The discernment has been made because often man's will does not always fully consent, or people sin out of weakness, or in justice the seriousness of sin is affected by circumstances, the people involved, objects involved, etc.
