For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
God created man for fellowship. However, we (through Adam) decided to break that fellowship by choosing to disobey God's commandment not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.(Genesis 2:15) As a result we all must suffer death and this sin nature we all possess (Romans 3:23)keeps us seperated from proper fellowship with God except for redemption offered through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 7:26-27)
The payment for all sin has been met. We have been bought back . . . redeemed by Christ's blood through His death and resurrection. However, this gift must be accepted. One must have more than head knowledge of sin and its consequences. There must be a heart change . . . a conviction . . . and repentance and commitment. (Romans 10:9-10)
God promises to forgive sin and secure eternal life with Him (1 John 1:9) but not everyone is willing to believe it or commit to the terms of the agreement.
