Consequences of Sin
The Three Deaths
Hamartiology · 5 verses
Scripture speaks of death in three senses: spiritual death—separation from God in this life; physical death—separation of soul from body; and eternal death—everlasting separation from God in hell. All three result from sin. Adam died spiritually the moment he sinned, was sentenced to physical death, and faced eternal death apart from grace.
