THE PENALTY OF SIN

The wages of sin is death - Romans6v23                        

God has pronounced the penalty of sin as being death. We have already seen that this means spiritual death and physical death. This penalty must be paid. God must punish sin.

As long as a man lives in his sins, he is dead spiritually, with every moment of time bringing him nearer to physical death. At physical death, his spiritual condition is made permanent for, as we have already seen, death is followed by judgment – Hebrews 9v27.

This means that if he is still in his sins when he dies, he will be forever banished from God and will suffer for his sins in the lake of fire. This is the second death spoken of in Revelation 20v14.
