Frequently Asked Questions
Fact Two:
God is holy and just, therefore He punishes sin. The Bible says: (Romans
6:23 NKJV) "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Sin carries the death penalty. There are two kinds of death referred to
in the Bible - physical death and eternal spiritual death.
Eternal spiritual death means going into torment in Hell forever and
ever, it means separation from God, from goodness, from truth, from sanity,
from happiness and light. It is eternal torment and disintegration.
When we refuse to follow God and obey Him we are rebelling against our
Creator and the Source of Life. If we rebel against the Creator it is
us who lose. It is God who sustains us, not the other way around!
When we tell the Source of Life to stay away from our life and not to
interfere we are actually saying "don't supply me with life".
To sin, to disobey God, is to attack ourselves in the long run. Its like
speeding - fun until you have to stand before the Judge.
Unfortunately the sentence for a life of sin is not a speeding ticket
- it is eternal death.
