The Bible teaches that the wages of sin is death, and all humans will return to dust after this life (Romans 6:23, Genesis 3:19).
The Scripture lays a stark truth before us: 'For the wages of sin is death' (Romans 6:23). This death is not merely physical but spiritual, as it separates us from God. Genesis 3:19 reminds us of our mortality, stating, 'For you were made from dust, and to the dust you will return.' Our existence on this earth is marked by mortality, and death is an inevitable reality that all humanity faces. It serves as a constant reminder that we are part of a dying world, where decay and the grave linger around every corner.
