What is the result of sin?

God cannot tolerate sin. God is perfect and his judgments are true. Our sinful nature separates us from God, both in this world and in the next. God cannot allow sin to enter into heaven, so our sinful nature condemns us to an eternity in hell, an eternity separated from God.

For the wages of sin is death... Romans 6:23

Even if we try to be as good as we can, and do what we think is right, we can never measure up to the standard of perfection that God requires.

Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:9

But, the story doesn't end there...
