SIN, WHEN IT IS FULL GROWN, BRINGS FORTH DEATH (James 1:15)
The sin of Adam brought physical death on himself and all his posterity (Genesis 2:17). Sin also leads to eternal spiritual death - the final separation of the person from God and from blessing (Romans 6:23). There is a sense also in which sin results for a believer. In 1 Timothy 5:6 we read that a believing widow who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. This means that she is wasting her life and utterly failing to fulfill the purpose for which God saved her. To be out of fellowship with God is for a Christian a form of living death.
