BUT WHY?

God created the earth and humans perfect.

But Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s commands, and all humans since have continued to break His laws, and as a result there is a punishment which we all now owe, DEATH.

“For the wages of sin is death…” ROMANS 6:23(a)

Of course we will all die, but we are talking about eternity, beyond this earthly life. The destination options are heaven or hell. You see God is not only Loving, Gracious and Merciful but He is also Just and so our sins can’t go unpunished, hence we all deserve to go to hell. So that’s where Jesus stood in for us. Jesus is both human and God incarnate. The only perfect, sinless man to have ever lived on earth and so the only one able to pay the death penalty you owed, which he did by being willing to be executed on a cross.

…but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

ROMANS 6:23(b)

But 3 days later He rose again to life and in doing so defeated death for all people who are willing to accept His free gift! All you need to do is repent of your sins meaning to be sorry for and turn away from the wrong things you have done, and in faith, turn your life over to Jesus.

"...for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."

1 CORINTHIANS 6:20
