1. Adam was told, the day you sin you die. Sin = death and separation from God.
2. God instituted a remedy whereas innocent life would pay the death penalty via animal sacrifice to cover until an ultimate acceptable sacrifice would be made.
3. God, via a virgin caused his own sinless son to be born and to become the ultimate sacrifice for the sins, via death on cross, of all mankind who would receive it as per God's conditions being:
a. Acknowledgement of sins, lostness and guilt.
b. Believing that Jesus died for sins.
c. Calling upon Jesus to save.
d. Receiving Jesus as savior by asking. (Holy Spirit of Jesus enters recepient's being making the convert a new spiritually born creature)
d. Publical public acknowledgement by baptism (immersion)
e. Result = changed life to grow from babe in Christ to mature Christian via reading and study of scripture.

BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.
The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.
