It is important to understand Bible basics for everyone. One of the most crucial aspects to grasp is why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. It was through His sacrificial death that we find redemption and forgiveness. As for the question of why we are sinners simply by being alive, it goes back to the fall of mankind in Genesis when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, bringing sin into the world. We have all inherited this sinful nature, which separates us from a holy God.

However, there is hope! Knowing how a sinner like you and I can make it into heaven when we die is paramount. We receive salvation and eternal life with Him in heaven by placing our trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior and acknowledging Him as Lord over our lives. It may be overwhelming if you’re still seeking answers to these questions, but fear not! Websites like GotQuestions.org offer valuable resources that can help deepen your understanding of these Bible basics. Invite the Holy Spirit into your journey; ask Him to reveal God’s truths and guide you toward a greater comprehension of His plan for your life. Remember that while no one can fully comprehend everything about the Bible, continuously seeking God’s will should remain at the forefront of your pursuit. Never hesitate to ask questions, just as my mother constantly reminded me; it has paid off well for me! And it can do wonders for you, too. ~ Bill Greguska

Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.
