Can someone explain the summary for consequences

Admittedly we have sinned, but how serious is our sin?
If we break human laws, that has certain consequences.
What about God's law? The Bible says, "The wages of
sin is death" (Romans 6:23). This is speaking of spiritual
death. If physical death is separation of the soul from
the body, spiritual death would be separation of the
soul from God, a separation that carries with it fearful
consequences.

Notice it does not say "the wages of great sin is death" -
- but just "sin!" That's shattering! Actually, since we
have broken the very first and great commandment
about loving God with all our heart, we are great
sinners! You have sinned and I have sinned, and the
wages of our sin is death. That "death" means our
condition before God is terminal, a dreadful, final
separation. Is there any escape from such
condemnation? Is there any way we can get God to
forgive us for our sin?
