The law (like the Ten Commandments) is like God letting you drive a nice car and telling you the rules of the road that you need to obey.

Sin is when you disobey what God told you and crash the car beyond recognition.

Justice is when you're asked to pay $1,000,000 in damages, can't pay the money, so you get locked up in prison never to see the light of day again.

Grace is when God offers to pay out of His own pocket so you don't have to pay the price.

Salvation is when you accept God's gift and the penalty of your sin is paid in full.

Rejecting the gift of salvation when God already paid your price... that sounds pretty foolish to me. (Psalm 14:1)

You reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7-9). For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

By the way, in the Garden of Eden, God told Adam not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or else Adam would die that very day (Genesis 2:15-17). Adam actually DID die the day he ate of it, but it was a spiritual death. He was separated from God.

Death isn't really the end of life. It's the separation of life. The first death is when the body is separated from the soul. And if a person doesn't accept Jesus, then they'll experience the "second death" where they go to Hell and their soul is separated from God.
