Why you post the following thing to this technical newsgroup?
Man fell in the garden of Eden, and sin entered into this world and the
world we live in today is the result. Everywhere wars, hate, death, and
destruction, people looking out only for themselves and their personal
interests, and when they do charity it's to say, "Hey look! I do charity."
Jesus Christ came into this world to save man from sin. He teaches a new
way to be. That new way is the way He intended for us before sin entered
in and destroyed everything. He restores that which was lost: our future,
our eternal relationship with Him.
God is spirit. He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. His Son was flesh,
just like us. He came here to live under our laws and save us before God.
He completed His work at the cross after a ~3.5 year ministry, where He
was crucified and died in the flesh with our sin charged to Him. He was
innocent and had no sin of His own, and God allowed Him to receive the
sin of all who would put their faith and trust in Him, so that their sin
could be transferred (literally) from them to Him. Jesus died on the
cross, and went before God to pay the price of that sin. It was a heavy
price and it bruised God, it crushed Jesus. And on the third day, God
raised Him back to life and gave Him all authority in Heaven and on Earth.
What Jesus does for us when we come to Him and ask Him to forgive our sin,
is to restore us to eternal life. We are still here in this world for a
time, but our internal nature completely changes. We receive a new spirit
nature (John 3), and are guided from that day forward by His Holy Spirit.
Our flesh nature (sinful) is still here, and we can listen to that input,
and we can still do sinful things, but God's Holy Spirit is also there,
and our new spirit nature is also there, and everyone who is born of God
will not continue in sin for very long. God comes for us to lead us out
of sin, to even take us by the hand and drag us out of sin.

Jesus didn't come to the Earth to save righteous people. He came to save
sinners.
Are you a sinner? Have you:
Ever stolen anything? Ever?
Used the Lord's name as a cuss word?
Lusted after someone who was not your spouse?
Told a lie? Ever?
Coveted after your neighbor's possessions? Ever?
All of us are guilty of these sins and more. Jesus knows this, which is
why He came here to save us. He does what we cannot do: He makes us
clean and shiny and innocent and new despite our filth and guilt in sin.
-----
You need to Jesus to forgive your sin. Ask Him to forgive you and begin
your new life with Him forever. He enters in the very moment you ask Him
to forgive your sin. It's what the words of the song Amazing Grace
convey:
"How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed..."
God's grace is given to us because He loves us. Jesus loves you and He
wants to forgive your sin and give you eternal life. Ask Him to forgive
you today, and enter in to His eternal Kingdom. He's gone ahead and made
a place for you, a custom place designed just for you, and He is return-
ing soon. The signs are foretold in the Bible and are unfurling before
our very eyes.
John 3:

Jesus prepares a place for you in advance:

Jesus loves you. I love you. I teach you about Him, and He teaches
you the truth. Read the Bible and learn the truth God gave mankind to
protect him from the enemy, to save him from sin. He did this for you,
directly and personally.
