What is the consequence of sin?
First everyone must know and understand that every human being consists of a body and a soul. This is not my opinion; this is a fact.
The curse, the punishment, the consequence for sin is death. This death however is what I call a threefold death. This means because you have sinned against God the punishment the consequence for your sin will be death physically. Secondly, it will be death spiritually (which means your soul will be separated from God and thrown into the lakes of fire)! Thirdly however, this death will be an eternal death. Meaning, you will not be separated from God in the lake of fire for a short period of time, you will be seperated from Him everlastingly and for all of eternity! Now do you get an Idea of how bad sin really is. This threefold death will be the sure fate of all those who ultimately choose to reject Jesus Christ as Savior. Now those who place their faith in Jesus will not expereince the 2nd and 3rd type of death I just explained. This is because once a person places their faith in Jesus, they are granted by God everlasting life and has immediately a place reserved for them in heaven, their names are written in the Lamb's book of life and they shall be saved everlastingly. I repeat this threefold death applies to unbelievers in Jesus who ultimately reject Christ as Savior. To make it plain, those who believe in Jesus as Savior will never go to hell nor the lakes of fire for their sins. Those who believe in Jesus will never ever again be separated from God. Their sins have been forgiven and forgotten by God himself when they placed their faith in Jesus. When they placed their faith in Jesus, they have become a child of God instantaneously and eternally by God himself and have been adopted into the family of God forever. However, all unbelievers and believers alike will die physically if Jesus tarries in His return. This means unless Jesus returns for us believers first, we will all die physically. All those who place their faith in Jesus Christ has eternal life and is guaranteed to go to heaven by God himself. Read (Genesis 3:19) (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9) (Revelation 20:15) (John 3:16-18 ) (John 5:24) (John 8:24) (John 10:9) (Matthew 13:42,50) (Matthew 25:41) (Revelation 21:8).
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord!
Hallelujah Praises be to God our Father in the name of his Son Jesus the Christ.
