Where is the ultimate consequence of sin is death found in the Bible?

Answer 1

A:Romans 6:23 famously says, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." This is commonly, but probably incorrectly interpreted to mean that sin will result in our spiritual death.

In this chapter, Paul talks at length about the meaning of death and the importance of baptism. In some way, Christians are baptised into the death of Jesus and are buried with him. Our old self (KJV: ‘old man’) is crucified with him, the old, sinful body destroyed. Just as Christ was raised up from the dead, we should also walk in newness of life. The metaphorical death of baptism, graphically stated in Romans 6: 4 ("Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death ...") is the end of sin. Read in context, the famous line, ‘the wages of sin is death’ seems to refer to this baptismal death.
