Separation is Painful

Don't think that the Lord is too weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help!² It is because of your sins that he doesn't hear you. It is your sins that separate you from God when you try to worship him.³ You are guilty of lying, violence, and murder. (Isaiah 59: 1 - 3 GNB)

Sin always causes a separation that is the nature of it. Destruction and death are also the outworking of sin. the bible says "sin produces death,  ... the wages of sin is death, ... death by sin." (James 1:13-15, Romans 6:23, 5:12 KJV)

Separation from God produces death, but why?

When God created He also sustained. He did not back off and let nature run its course as evolutionists want us to believe. God is actively sustaining the greatest to the least atom in the 

universe but His grace. 

After sin occurred, in came death. Death is an "enemy," an intruder, it causes God to "hide His face."

Sin is really an individual telling God that they are ok and they need not His law, protection, love or watch care.

What can God do for such a person? Appeal to their better judgement, and if they persist, ultomately respect

their choice.

If God sustains the universe, what will happen if He stops sustaining a creature? they will fall victim to the 

ravenous onslaught of the devil like Job did, but Job was "hedged" in by God. Imagine when they are not.

God wants His intelligent creatures to see the separation that sin causes and flee from sin into the arms

of their loving misunderstood God. God's character exposes the lies of satan.
