Sin - a brick wall between you and God

[water]

Could someone help me some verses – well as many as you could - where one person commits sin, he himself separate from God …or might not be able to receive graces?

Thanks!

No, because I dont believe that. There is no way to seperate yourself from God’s grace. You may however refuse to co-operate with it.
Ps.139:7: Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

CCC 1472 To understand this doctrine and practice of the Church, it is necessary to understand that sin has a double consequence. **Grave sin deprives us of communion with God **and therefore makes us incapable of eternal life, the privation of which is called the “eternal punishment” of sin. On the other hand every sin, even venial, entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures, which must be purified either here on earth, or after death in the state called Purgatory. This purification frees one from what is called the “temporal punishment” of sin. These two punishments must not be conceived of as a kind of vengeance inflicted by God from without, but as following from the very nature of sin. A conversion which proceeds from a fervent charity can attain the complete purification of the sinner in such a way that no punishment would remain.

"Grave sin deprives us of communion with God "
Absolutely! The “communion”, this deepest relationship with the Father is deprived from us when we seriously sin.
This is our destruction of the relationship, by a turning of our love, and thus obedience and all things which flow from love, away from its proper object, and bending it to the subject, ourselves. It is infact self love. And therefore inconsistant with our nature, which is called into the heart of the trinitarian life of a relationship of giving love to God, who likewise gives love to us.
However, the gentleman pointed to a situation where we are “not able to recieve graces.”
This is an impossible situation for anyone, or that matter anything within creation. Since God is Being, it is within God, and through God that our very existance is contingent. Nothing is capable of being outside of Being, which is God.(cf. Col 1:17)
In short, if the grace of God does not extend to it, *it *is not.
For a more day to day situation, the worst of sinners is constantly loved and called daily to repentance, and to restore the communion with God. He may well reject this grace, but the grace still comes.
