What the Bible Says About Sin and Its Consequences…

When God created the universe, He did it under His own principles. Those principles do not change. In the same way there are physics' laws that govern the material world (like the law of universal gravitation, for example), there are spiritual's laws that govern the spiritual world, or your relationship with God.

If we read 1 Timothy 2:4, we see that God love us and want to meet us.
1 Timothy 2:4 (KJV from www.biblegateway.com)

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.


But in Romans 3:23 we read (KJV from www.biblegateway.com):

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

And from Isaiah 59:1-2 we have (KJV from www.biblegateway.com):

1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

From those two texts we learned that we are sinners and sin keeps us away from God. Even if God wants to have communion with us while we have the barrier of sin, this is not possible. The first consequence of the sin is that it keeps us away from God.
While we are away from God, we cannot have communion with Him, therefore we are spiritually dead. The second consequence of the sin is the spiritual death.

Jesus, Son of God, came to the world to die and pay the price for our sins. He resurrected to restore our lives. Today, all those who believe in Jesus, and regret from having sinned and receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior, is forgiven and goes from spiritual death to spiritual life: God’s communion is back! This person should no longer live in sin, but should live according to God’s will. So, Jesus Christ is the answer from God to recover us from sin.
