When Jesus came to make atonement for our sins, we were forgiven, and we are also required to live lives where forgiveness is given and received in our relationships with others. Ongoing and unrepented sins still have consequences. God offers all people love, but not all people will have access to life in eternity with Him. Why? Because sin separates. So, if we never repent of our sins and accept the new hearts that come through salvation in Christ, the wages of sin are eternal separation from God.
