Consequences of sin: (1) relational separation from God (Isaiah 59:2, Adam and Eve expelled from Eden, Colossians 1:21 — alienated and enemies in our minds); (2) future judgment — God is a just judge who must deal with sin. Romans 6:23: wages of sin is death (separation, judgment, hell). Our goodness can't fix it — we've already failed.

Isaiah 59:2: iniquities create separation from God. Colossians 1:21: alienated, enemies because of evil behavior. Adam and Eve's expulsion from Eden pictures the relational break. God's justice demands accountability — we want God to judge evil people but forget we're also sinners. Romans 6:23: death is the earned wage of sin.
