God is God
God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He exists in the persons of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And He created humans to know Him and have a relationship with Him
Humans are sinful
We humans decided to do things our own way instead of the way God created us to do them. That is called sin, and our sin separates us from God.
God is both Just and Loving
God is JUST, so He must punish wrongdoing. He must punish sin. The only punishment for sin is death, which is eternal separation from God.
But God is also LOVING. So He made a way for us to avoid the punishment our sins earned while still allowing sin to be punished. He did this by sending Jesus to live a life without sin, and then die in our place so that we may have eternal life, which is eternal unification with God.

Humans must accept God
God gave us eternal life as a gift. In order to have it, we must accept it. We accept God’s gift by doing two things. First, we agree with God that we have sinned and that Christ has paid the price for our sins. Second, we put ourselves back under God's control and seek to live the way He intended us to. By doing those two things, we accept the gift of life that God has for us.
