Christians believe that they are saved because Jesus paid the penalty for the sins of the world. Jesus was betrayed, put on trial, mocked, tortured, and executed within a day's time. Then he rose to life three days later and soon after ascended to Heaven. However, the penalty for sin is eternity in Hell. Simple logic suggests that this means that either Jesus did not pay the penalty for anyone's sin, or that the only fair penalty for sin is a similar death followed by resurrection and eternal life in Heaven and not the fire and brimstone God threatens us with.
