To sin is to put anything above God.
God is the self-existing one.
Therefore, He is Life and the source of life.
Therefore, to sin is to put something else above the source of life.
This puts a barrier between the one who sins and the source of life.
To be cut off from life and the source of life results in death.
Therefore, it makes sense that the wages of sin is death, as the Bible claims.
