We believe:

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." - (Romans 3:23)

Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. "For the wages (payment) of sin is death." - (Romans 6:23) This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.

"...It is appointed unto men once to dies, but after this, the judgment." - (Hebrews 9:27)

But God loved you so much, He gave his only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. "...He hath made Him (Jesus, who knew no sin) to be sin for us...that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." - (2 Corinthians 5:21)

"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - (Romans 5:8)

Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.

My friend, "God...now commendeth all men everywhere to repent." - (Acts 17:30) This repentence is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.

"But, as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." - (John 1:12)
