Jesus Christ was sent to earth to die for the sins of all mankind so that we may have eternal life. When Adam committed the first sin, he condemned us to death. God sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross so that he could take eternal death away and allow us the opportunity the dwell with the Father everlasting. All we must do is accept that Jesus is the Son of God and try to live the way Jesus would. I hope my answer helped, but you can find the whole truth in the bible explained much better than I could ever hope! Good luck and God bless!!!

This was the law back in the days of Moses, but God sent His Son Jesus' to bear our sins. So that we may not be automatically condemned to Hell.
We have a choice and that is to repent and to always end your prayer in the name of Jesus' because Jesus' is the mediator between us and the Father in Heaven.
The wrath of God I do not want to know.

Jesus was the judgment of god if we are to live or die.
Even humanity kill him with anger and hate yet Jesus didn't judge humanity to end. Because Jesus ones said we are all judging each other death already so Jesus did not judge humanity to end that is all.

Think poor old Jesus enjoyed turning water into wine a bit too much! I don't understand it either. They say you shouldnt sin or you go to hell so you should always live a god-fearing life.. but on the other hand, you can get a priest to have all your sins forgiven on your deathbed! And you don't get to cash-in till after you've died.. you wouldn't buy a car under those conditions!!

Sin is never going to separate us from our Lord in eternity when we accept his offer.
