DEATH, THE ISSUE OF SIN.

THERE is a threefold death as the result of sin.

  1. Bodily death. The common portion of man naturally, as a consequence of sin, is death (Heb. 9:27).
  2. Spiritual death. Sin has alienated man from God, hence man is dead in trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1).
    There are three illustrations given in the New Testament of spiritual death.
    1. The prodigal was dead, as long as he was separated from his father (Luke 15:24).
    2. The woman who lives in pleasure is dead, as long as she continues in a course of worldliness (1 Tim. 5:6).
    3. Those who have a name to live, but who have not been quickened by the Holy Spirit, are dead in a spiritual sense (Rev. 3:1).
  3. Eternal death. “The second death” is eternal separation from God, from all that He is, and from all that He has to give (Rev. 20:14).
