What I mean is, why is death the wages of sin? It seems to have been determined as a fixed price between God and Satan, but how/why death as opposed to another sort of punishment?

Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. When Adam sinned, He started to die. He lost the image of God (Genesis 5: 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:) and his children became like his image and by nature like us they began to die. Romans 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

This passage can coexists with the "as quickly as saved, continuously saved" doctrine because of the fact this passage of scripture has no longer something to do with salvation yet with forgiveness. As you already reported Jesus taught this parable after the question from Peter asking, "Lord, what number situations shall I forgive my brother while he sins against me? as much as seven situations?" Peter wasn't asking what can he do to lose salvation. Jesus replace into showing how significant that's to forgive your brother (even while they ask questions with a haughty spirit). The passage had no longer something to do with theory and unbelief. You reported, "This passage, in my view, needless to say shows that salvation is greater of a technique. you are able to initiate, yet you additionally can opt for to quit." Salvation isn't something which you initiate and quit at will. that's a cutting-edge from God. i've got faith that if all people says they have been saved and then turns away and acts the comparable way he did till now the two replace into not at all saved or is purely a suffering Christian. as quickly as saved the devil is consistently attempting to make us valueless in the religious conflict. the significant subject so you might in contact approximately is bringing the lost to Christ and not arguing with different believers on concerns that are minor subject concerns. God bless and keep in mind that they are going to correctly known we are Christians by using OUR LOVE!!!!!

because when we sin we separate ourselves from God spiritually and unless that breach is repaired we die in our sin and are separated from Him eternally. Sin cannot exist in the presence of God so that is why we have to be born again and purified through the Messiah
