The Bible teaches that sin's wages are death and separation from God, all people have sinned, and each person will face judgment for their deeds before Christ.
Scripture consistently teaches that sin carries grave consequences: separation from God, death, and judgment. All people have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Sin's full trajectory moves from temptation to death, while willful sin after knowing truth faces judgment without sacrifice. Yet amid these warnings stands God's free gift of eternal life in Christ, offering redemption to all who turn from sin.
