The greatest news ever cannot be understood without understanding first the problem of the world. You see my friend, we as human beings sin.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.
Our sin is something which separates us from God, sin is poison and you and I, my friend, have sinned against God and deserve eternal punishment in hell and will have to be judged by God for our sins unless God forgives us.
Unless we can be saved from our sins and from going to hell, we cannot have eternal life with God. The soul that sins shall die. There are 2 final destinations for mankind. Some will go to hell, to eternal punishment and some will have eternal life in a new heaven and a new earth.
This truth has been revealed to us because thousands of years ago, God who is the creator of all the universe spoke to men about "the savior" who will be born on earth and live a righteous life with no sin whatsoever.
It was prophesied thousands of years ago that this man will be killed by His own people and authorities, according to Christian Scripture and faith it was prophesied hundreds of years before He was born that He will be killed and crucified on a cross and will offer His life as atonement, as a sacrifice for our sins.
Yes, my friend, this is true.This man who died about 2000 years ago died as atonement for the sins of the whole world. He died for everyone in the past, the present, and the future. Which means He died for you, He atoned for your sins so that you may be saved. He loved mankind to the point where He died for all of them on a wooden cross.
This savior is the man Jesus Christ, who turns out His origins were divine, this man Jesus Christ claimed to be God Himself! it is true. God himself, the creator of the universe came down to earth as a real human being, fully man and fully God: Jesus Christ. Who also was called the son of God.
This was also testified by the eyewitnesses who saw Him 2000 years ago, it is recorded in history that Jesus Christ died at around 33 years old and was laid in a tomb guarded by a group of soldiers for a few days so that no one would steal Jesus' dead body.
Then on the 3rd day it was witnessed that Jesus Christ came back to life (was resurrected from the dead, conquering death.) around 500 people saw Jesus Christ risen from the dead after He died for the world and was buried.
Then throughout 40 days several people saw Jesus ascend into heaven when it was promised that Jesus Christ would come back again to usher in a renewed world where all the believers in Jesus, those who had faith in Him as their Lord and Savior, dead or alive will receive a glorified body when He comes back, the dead believers will be also raised up from the dead, and the believers who are alive at the time of His coming will be transformed and will receive glorified bodies and will enjoy eternal life forever as death and sin and evil are finally defeated.
Well, my friend Jesus hasn't come yet, but He will, and Jesus is coming back soon. So, are you ready for His coming? or will you be judged to hell because you have not accepted forgiveness through what Jesus did for you?
You see my friend, me and you as sinners cannot earn our salvation. We must receive it as a free gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ and what He did, that He died to atone for our sins, was buried and then rose from the dead bodily, conquering death and that only in Him we can receive eternal life and salvation.
Faith in Jesus isn't just acknowledgment of facts about Him, faith in Jesus is trusting in Him, it's depending on Jesus for salvation, forgiveness and eternal life. If you have faith in Jesus you will follow Him. "He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.”
Jesus Christ Himself said 2000 years ago: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Also, Jesus promised 2000 years ago to whoever believes in Him: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.”
Also, Jesus says to you today my friend, 'follow me': "If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me." Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, No one comes to God but through Him. Follow Jesus because He alone can save your soul.

Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

My friend since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
God even though He is 3 distinct persons, Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit, He is only one being, only one God who is 3 distinct persons (not 3 distinct gods) God the father and God the Holy Spirit are fully God, Jesus Christ also is fully God even though He is also fully man like us, a human being! Jesus is God and human at the same time! Jesus is the savior of the world. My friend there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved except the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus died for you to forgive you of your sins, He went through so much pain and suffering so that by His death you can be forgiven and guaranteed eternal life even though you may die, there will be a day of resurrection and there will be a restored earth and restored heavens.
I urge you to believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and your Savior. Please believe the good news before it's too late. Repent (turn from sin and turn to God) and trust fully in Jesus Christ today. May you learn more about God and read more about Him because He cares for you ("Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."). Follow Jesus from today, don't wait! Tomorrow isn't guaranteed! Please feel free to ask any questions...
