Sin’s Natural Consequences

God's penalties against sin are not the execution of arbitrary sentences. They are the fruit of the seed-sowing. Death is the "wages of sin," a necessity for the best good of the incorrigibly sinful and the safety of God's universe. "Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death," and vindicates the righteousness of God. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
