Eight Essential Truths Emerge from God's Story of Hope
The Story of Hope is not just a story. It has the power to change your life forever if you can understand and accept eight essential truths:
4) Death
What we have learned about the penalty for sin:
- The essence of death is separation.
- Adam and Eve died spiritually (became separated from God) the moment they sinned.
- As their descendants, all human beings are born spiritually dead.
- Physical death occurs when the human spirit separates from the body. Adam and Eve also experienced physical death, as do all of their descendants.
- Physical death is not the end of our human existence. After a person dies, he or she will appear before God, who is the holy and just Judge of all mankind.
- People who choose not to trust God’s provision for sin and death will experience eternal death by being separated from God in everlasting conscious punishment.
- Death, in all of its forms, is God’s righteous judgment for sin.
