According to the Bible, we are all sinners who deserve to die in hell. But, because God is love and full of grace, He made a way for His Son, Jesus, to come and die on the cross for our sins, so that we could live forever with Him. This gift of salvation, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life is something we cannot earn, but rather receive by God's generosity. It is available to everybody who believes in God and accepts the gift by faith.
