Our inability to keep the Law of God perfectly earns us the curse of death. Galatians 3:10 says, "Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the Law, to do them." Romans 6:23 says, "the wages of sin is death." This curse of death is a universal testimony to man's imperfection. If it were possible for a man to perfectly obey, then that individual would never die.

Because of His own perfection God must be completely separated from sin. The Scriptures reveal not only His love for mankind, but also His hatred for sin. Psalm 5:5 says, God "hates all workers of iniquity." When He revealed His Name, He showed Himself as a God who would not let the guilty go unpunished (Exodus 34:7). Sinners will face separation from God-- suffering the eternal punishment of His just wrath. "Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8).
