The Price for Our Position

Being in this position wouldn't be such a problem if God simply left it at
that. But He didn't! Instead He demanded a price for being in our position:

DEATH

God says in Romans 6:23,

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."


The very sin we commit condemns us to death! And not only to a physical
death, but a spiritual death as well. Revelation 20:14 tells us,

"Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
This is the second death, the lake of fire."


It is important here to understand just what death is. Death is separation:
physically the soul and spirit are separated from the body, while spiritually
the soul and spirit are separated from God. God tells us that we are born
spiritually dead in Ephesians 2:1,

"And you were dead in the trespasses and sins"


Being born spiritually dead is a dire situation to be sure! Why? To die
physically when also dead spiritually, is to die separated from God!
God has a special place for such people:

THE LAKE OF FIRE


You may say, "I don't believe in a literal hell."



"They are without excuse."
