→The recognition of sin
A holy and just God will not allow sin in His presence, and on that basis alone mankind is excluded from the Kingdom of Heaven.

===The after effects===
If the average man was to die at this moment, he would face judgement.
:''It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement.'' (''Letter to the Hebrews'', 9:27)
:''Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.'' (''Gospel of John'', 5:28-29)
The man facing judgement would stand before God's throne, where his life would be reviewed.
:''And I saw the dead, the small and the great, stand before God. And books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.'' (''Revelation'', 20:12)
Every single moment of this man's life would be exposed, from cradle to grave. There would be nothing hidden.
:''For there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed; nor became covered, but that it might come to the light.'' (''Gospel of Mark'', 4:22)
:''But I say to you that every idle word, whatever men may speak, they shall give account of it in the day of judgment.'' (Gospel of Matthew'', 12:36)
If the man's name was not found in the Book of Life, he is denied entry into God's Kingdom.
:''Then He also shall say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels.'' (''Gospel of Matthew'', 25:41)
:''And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.'' (Gospel of Matthew'', 25:46)
:''And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the Lake of Fire.'' (''Revelation'', 20:15)
