Separation From God
What is sin? Sin is anything that "causes" us separation from God? Sin is not a plot to commit evil.
It is the nature of our fleshly being. "Human" nature as some call it.
There is a "divine nature" that we can only know through our spirits. The divine nature is of God and the nature of God. What is true and right and good.
Sin causes spiritual decay. And eventually death. Apparently the only way to extinguish spiritual death is to incinerate it for eternity.
If a Super Nova occurs, its because of the natural forces that cause it to happen. That's how it is with sin. Sin leads to the natural "spiritual nova" death.
God knows this. He doesn't want that to happen to us. Because he loves us all.
He has made the provision for us to avoid this death. But its our choice.
Its like telling a child; "don't put your finger in the fan". Its gonna hurt. They try to imagine what it would feel like so they do it anyway. Some don't, they listen and do the right thing. Trusting what they've been taught by the parents who love them.
The same way God loves you. He wants you to do whats right so you wont get hurt.
The one thing that is out of Gods hands is your freedom to choose. A gift he gave to everyone and everything.
1 Peter 1:14
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord
