It doesn't.
For the believer the consequences for sin are confined to the cost of sin itself in this life, and whatever loving chastisement the Father administers to his erring child. The difference between the believer and the unbeliever is the consequences of sin are not eternal for the believer. They are eternal for the unbeliever.
Only if that sin is committed from a position of unbelief.
A Christian has to go back to unbelief for his sin to be able to condemn him.
As long as he's a believer the ministry and sacrifice of Christ is always interceding on his behalf before the Father on the altar in heaven (Hebrews 7:25).
That's why when a born again, clean person sins they only need to wash their feet (their walk), not take a bath all over again as the Catholics believe (John 13:10).
only be baptized once eph 4:5
