Salvation - Accepting Jesus
In the beginning God created Adam and Eve. When they rebelled against God, man was separated from God through sin.
Sin separates us from the holy, perfect, loving, and just God who had made us.
God's holiness required punishment and payment for sin, which was and still is eternal death. Our death is not sufficient to cover the payment for our sins.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
In His perfect timing, God's son, Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, gave up all that was his in heaven to come to Earth as a baby. Born of the virgin Mary, Jesus lived a sinless life that we do not have the ability to live, and ultimately gave His life on the cross for all sin.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Having been dead in the grave, He rose again on the third day (Easter) and forty days later ascended to heaven to reign over all until He returns.
We come to Jesus by faith, not works. It is through this new birth of accepting Jesus Christ's that we are restored once again to the Father.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9
Being birthed into the family of Christ is life changing. All you have to do is believe in your heart in the birth, death and Resurrection of Christ. Ask Christ to forgive you of your sin and accept Him into your heart. Old things will then pass away and you will become a new creature in Christ.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
