How do we know spiritual death is a consequence of sin?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual death resulting from sin is clearly depicted in Genesis 3, where Adam disobeys God and dies spiritually.

The doctrine of spiritual death as the consequence of sin finds its foundation in Genesis 3, where God warns Adam that eating from the Tree of Knowledge will lead to death. This death is not immediate physical death but rather a separation from God, signifying spiritual death. After Adam partook of the forbidden fruit, he experienced shame and fear, indicating a fractured relationship with the Creator. This act introduced sin into humanity, resulting in spiritual death for all descendants of Adam, necessitating the new birth through Jesus Christ. Romans 5:12 states that through one man, sin entered the world, and death through sin, spreading to all men because all sinned.
