(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson) Summary of the transcript of the audio: Every sin, by its very nature, incurs the righteous wrath and eternal curse of God, as clearly taught in Galatians 3:10 and Deuteronomy 27, where the moral law demands perfect, continual obedience—failure to uphold even one commandment brings divine condemnation. The consequence of sin is not merely punishment but the eternal reality of God's infinite, unchanging glory being opposed to the sinner forever, a state vividly described as the lake of fire, where existence itself is saturated with divine judgment. This terrifying truth underscores the desperate need for a Savior, for no one can be justified by works of the law; all are under the curse by default. The good news is that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, bore that wrath and curse in full on the cross, absorbing the eternal death that sin deserves so that those who place their faith in Him are freed from condemnation.
