Fortunately for us, this God is a God of love and justice. He is “Holy,” that is, there is no evil nor darkness in Him at all. Why did God create us? Because He wants friendship and communication with us. We Christians call this “fellowship.” However, man rebelled against God and chose to do evil. If you are honest, you will have to admit that every one of us has done evil and wrong. Take the simplest of the ten simple commandments given by God to the human race — “You shall not lie.” Every one of us has violated that commandment! Many times, in fact. Christians have a term for these wrong deeds, we call them “sins.”

Because God is totally “holy,” the sins of the human race create a huge problem. Sin separates us from God, and we deserve to be punished for our sins. If we are honest, every one of us knows that we have done wrong, and that we deserve to pay for the wrong things we have done.

What is the payment for our sins? The just punishment is an eternity separated from God in a place of utter torment. God calls this place “Hell.” Hell is a real place! God does not want human beings to go to Hell, but if our sins are not paid for, because He is a God of complete justice, we will have to go there. BUT, there is good news.

God knew that man could never do enough to pay for his sins, and He also knew that it was impossible for man to live a life completely without sin. So, being the God of love that He is, God decided that He would come down to earth, take on a human body, live a perfect life free from sin, and then pay the price in full for all the sins human beings had, or would, commit. The Christian Bible tells the story of how God came to earth as Jesus. Jesus did many miracles to demonstrate that He is God, and eventually died a terrible death on a cross. The suffering and death and shedding of the blood of Jesus paid the price for our sins. Jesus’ physical body died, but because He is also God, the grave could not hold Him. On the third day, He rose again back to life. Jesus is still very much alive today, and resides in Heaven. BUT, He is very busy here on earth. He is in the business of saving souls, and changing lives.

SO HOW DO YOU AVOID GOING TO HELL AFTER YOU DIE?

The Bible says in Romans 10:9 that “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

YOU MUST BE SAVED TO AVOID HELL.

How do you obtain salvation, or “get saved?” You have a choice to make. You decide, by your own free will, that you are making Jesus Christ your God, and that you will serve Him all the rest of your life. You decide that you accept the truth that Jesus Christ IS God, and that He DID pay the price on the cross for your sins, and DID raise from the dead, and that He DOES still live and dwell in heaven.
