Sin separates us from God.
"For the wages of sin is death…
— Romans 6:23a
The consequence of sin is real. Spiritual death means being separated from God — the source of all life, love, hope, and purpose.
It's like being cut off from the very thing your soul was made for. Without God, there is an emptiness that nothing else can fill.
But that verse doesn't stop there…
There is hope.
