Consequences of Sin
Guilt and Condemnation
Hamartiology · 5 verses
Sin brings both guilt—liability to punishment—and pollution—corruption of nature. The guilt of sin places all mankind under divine condemnation, deserving of eternal punishment. This guilt cannot be removed by human effort but only by the atoning work of Christ, who bore the guilt of His people on the cross.
