God created man to live in fellowship with Him and have dominion over creation, but man sinned and became separated from God. All people have sinned and deserve death and hell, and cannot reach God through good works or religion. However, God loves mankind and sent Jesus to die for our sins so we can be restored to God. By repenting of sins, surrendering to Jesus, and making Him Lord, people can accept God's gift of salvation and eternal life.
