First, God created this world perfect and gave eternal life to Adam and Eve. God gave man dominion over the whole Earth. God gave us a free will and Adam chose to disobey God. By doing this, man gave his dominion to Satan and his demons. That is why the Bible says that Satan is the god of this world. That is why terrible things happen in this like famines, floods, earthquakes, and death. Death entered into this world by sin. God warned Adam that this would happen if he would disobey, but Adam and Eve did not listen and was fooled by the Devil. When we sin, then we receive the death penalty. Everyone has sinned and has fallen short of the glory of God. And the wages of sin is death. But God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life! God sent His Son Jesus to pay for everyone's sins. He paid for them by shedding His own blood and by giving His own life. He who knew no sin was made sin for us. He was the only sinless man who ever lived because He, Himself, was both man and God. He did not fall into temptation, eventhough He was tempted in every way. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, then God not only forgives us from our sins, but God, Himself, comes into our heart. That is why we are "Born Again." God takes away our old and dying spirit and gives us His Holy Spirit. We have been given NEW LIFE! Another chance! He gives us the power to turn from our sins! Jesus has come to give us life and life more abundantly. The Bible says that when we receive Jesus as our Savior, then God adopts you into His Family. We have been redeemed into an everlasting relationship with God as our Father. One day soon, Jesus will return to set up God's Kingdom on this planet. There will be no more death or bad things. I must warn you. The Anti Christ will come first, he will come and most of the world will think that he is the Christ and follow him. But knowing Christ personally will prevent you from following a lie. The Devil hates us because we are made in the image of God, and the fact that God loves us. One day, God will cast Satan and ALL those who follow him into the lake of fire to be tormented forever. You can avoid eternal judgement today by dedicating your life to Jesus right now by praying:
"Dear God, I know that I am a sinner deserving death. I believe that you sent your Son, Jesus, to pay for my sins, by shedding His blood and dying in my place. Please forgive me and come into my life. Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to give me the power to turn from my sins so that I can live my life for you from this moment on in Jesus name, amen!"
I hope that this answers your questions and brings you into a rewarding eternal life. I suggest that you attend a Church that believes in the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Read and obey God's Word, the Bible, everyday. Remember that God is now your Father and He wants to have a relationship with you, so pray often, He wants to hear from you. Your life will become exciting as God's presence will manifest in your life as you learn to trust in Him.

We are born with sin and Jesus (god incarnate) died to provide us a way to have our sins forgiven by belief in his sacrifice and divinity.
I.e. Christianity provides us with a loop hole in morality. It acknowledges that we have and will continue to sin, but as long as we have faith in Jesus we are going to heaven. Therefore one could murder, rape, steal, etc their entire life, but if they have faith in Jesus they can still be rewarded for their evil.

There is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood.

Jesus was crucified, died, and rose again for the sins of mankind so that men may raise again at the last day.
