God makes it clear that 'All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23), and 'there is none that doeth good, no, not one.' (Psalm 14:3) and 'but we are all as an unclean thing, and all our good works are as filthy rags'. (Isaiah 64:6)
Tell me, do you think you are a good person?
Let me ask you, how many murders do I need to commit to be called a murderer? Just one.
Have you ever told a lie? That makes you a liar.
Have you ever stolen anything? That makes you a thief.
Have you ever used God's name as a curse word? That makes you a blasphemer against the God that gave you life.
Have you ever looked at a woman with lust? Jesus said if you look at someone to lust after them, you have commit adultery in your heart.
Have you ever murdered anyone? Jesus said if you are angry with someone, you are guilty of murder in your heart.
So, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterous murderer at heart. Now, if God is just and good and perfectly Holy, having never commit any sins, and you stand before Him as a vile and wicked sinner, what should He do with you? If He lets you go, that would make God evil, so would any judge who lets an evil man walk away without justice being served. God must punish all that is evil in order for God to remain good.
So, should God punish or reward you for breaking His laws? Obviously, God should ensure justice is served, and should punish all who have broken His laws. However, God wants to save you from His wrath, because God is also merciful and kind. God became a man, Jesus Christ, and died on a cross in your place, taking the punishment you deserved upon Himself.
The life of Christ was as important as His death. God created mankind to be His image in the physical world, and we failed by sinning. So, God became a man, who we call Jesus, so that mankind could fulfill their purpose of being the physical representation of God. However, for those who have sinned, they have earned the wage of sin (a wage is something you earn), and that is death. So, mankind deserves to die. However, Jesus Christ, the true representation of God and man, being fully God, and fully man, lived perfectly so mankind could be deemed righteous, and died to take the punishment that mankind deserved. So, mankind as a whole can now be justified before God having fulfilled their purpose as the image of God in the physical world, and also allow God's justice and wrath to be satisfied by having mankind die in Jesus Christ. 0 x any number = 0. Jesus had 0 sins, and died for the sins of the world.
If you repent (apologize and forsake your sins), and put your faith in Jesus Christ, your God and Savior, you will be saved. If not, you will face the wrath of God upon your sins. Jesus said
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for Gods wrath remains on him. (John 3:36)
Confess to God you are a sinner who deserves to justly be sent to Hell, but you believe Jesus died on a cross in your place, taking the punishment you deserved. Then, He was resurrected from the dead to conquer death, and hears your prayers and is able to forgive and save you.
Repent from sin, and put your faith in the Saviour today.
