Lynn and Mike got it right. We are all sinners living in a sinful world,the prince of this world is Satan. We are influenced by him every day to do evil. God sent His only son to tell us the right way to go to enter into heaven, He was crucified by the religious leaders of that day,but that was part of God's salvation plan.Pure blood had to be shed for forgivness of our sins, if we believe it and accept Jesus as our saviour,we are saved, if we do not,then we are lost. Jesus said" If you have me, you have the Father, if you don't have me, you have not the Father".

All the info you are seeking is in the bible, read it with an open mind and an open heart,truely seeking the truth and it will be revealed unto you.God wants no man to be lost,Satan wants every man to be lost,choose which one you will follow.If you are not for Jesus, you are against Him,there is no neutral ground in this battle for souls.
