FAQs

What is the punishment for sin in the Bible? ›

God has pronounced that the penalty of sin is spiritual death and separation from God in a place of judgment called hell: “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Jesus clearly taught that sinners were condemned in sin and would perish and go to hell if they didn't believe in Him as their Savior (John 3:16-18).

As Paul is attempting to explain how Christians are not under law but under grace he speaks of how Christians are “servants” (Greek douloi, properly “slaves”) to whomever they obey (Romans 6:16-18). In such a view everyone is a slave; true freedom is illusory. The only question involves precisely whom one will serve.

In Romans 6:23, Paul reminds us that the “gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” That is when we labor for God with faith, what we get is indeed more than wages for we cannot measure it with earthly standards but it is far more beyond us.

ESV For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The most common forms of capital punishment in the Bible include burning at the stake, stoning, hanging, and crucifixion just to name a few. A few other punishments that were common but did not result in death include scourging, prison time, and in some cases, cutting off limbs.

The most common method mentioned is by stoning, followed by burning, and then by sword (once).

Romans 6:15–23 asks why we should not keep sinning once we have come to faith in Christ and are no longer under the law of Moses. Paul answers that we can continue to lead lives of volunteer slavery to sin if we don't resist it. Instead, we should live as if righteousness was our master, which, in a sense, it is.

In Christ, believers are being sanctified (growing in Christlikeness) until the day of His return, when we will be glorified (perfectly sanctified). Only the sinless God-man can represent God to man and man to God, give His life as a ransom for those who trust in Him, and be the substitute for sinners.

If you serve sin as your master, it will pay you with death. But if you belong to our Lord Jesus Christ, God gives you a gift! That gift is life with God for ever.

Whipping and fines were the most common punishments. Wooden shoes were sometimes placed on the feet of prisoners, making escape difficult. An enslaved person could be forced to carry a piece of wood around their neck that stated their crime.

What are the three major consequences of sin? ›

Guilt, shame, and fear are the three results of any sin we commit against God. Following the first sin, God also outlined the greater consequences of sin, including our eternal separation from Him, and the penalty of spiritual death.

This outburst enraged religious leaders and threatened to destroy the fragile peace imposed by Rome. Jesus was arrested on a charge of treason and was crucified, a common form of execution for condemned criminals. To the Romans, Jesus was a troublemaker who had got his just desserts.

Sin also affects our relationship with God, turning the love that belongs to Him alone and pointing it inward toward ourselves. We reject Him in favor of anyone and anything else. But the ultimate consequence of sin, this rejection of God and rebellion against Him, is death.

The effects of Adam's sin according to the Catholic Encyclopedia are: Death and suffering: "One man has transmitted to the whole human race not only the death of the body, which is the punishment of sin, but even sin itself, which is the death of the soul."

An indulgence is the full or partial remission of temporal punishment for sins after the sinner confesses and receives absolution. Under Catholic teaching, every sin must be purified either here on earth or after death in a state called purgatory.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that, while no sin is absolutely "unforgivable", some sins represent a deliberate refusal to repent and accept the infinite mercy of God; a person committing such a sin refuses God's forgiveness, which can lead to self-condemnation to Hell.
