Zonation refers to a policy enacted by the Indonesian government where admission to state schools is primarily determined by proximity of the student's domicile to the school itself, and student's grades and achievements become secondary consideration.

The Bible suggests that God makes no distinction between small and big sins – in fact, both big sins and small sins are considered ‘sins’, and they hold a similar weight or value. If any of the sins are not repented and washed away by God’s forgiveness, they create a substantial distance between the person and the blessing of God.
