1). Death is separation.

a). Physical death is separation of the spirit from the body.

(1) James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

b). Spiritual death is separation of man’s spirit from God. Spiritual death is also a nature, the nature of Satan.

(1) Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

(2) Ephesians 2:2, 3 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

(3) Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

c). The Second death is eternal separation of mans spirit from God:

(1) Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
