There is only one way to be made free from our sinful and natural state, and that is to DIE to the nature. By nature all men are children of wrath, Eph. All will remain children of wrath until we die to that sinful nature, spiritually, or until we are born of the Spirit and made partakers of God s nature. Since all men are possessed of a depraved nature, all need to be saved from that nature and its awful consequences. D. Saved from eternal death.
Death is a direct consequence of sin.
God has said, The soul that sinneth shall die. All have sinned, therefore, all must die. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God, Rom. Sin separates a soul from God, and since all have sinned, all are separated from God. This separation results in eternal death.
