This is the single most important question that every person must answer. The answer to this question is found in the pages of God’s word to mankind, the Bible. The central event of all of human history was the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, two thousand years ago, to redeem mankind back to God. The message of the Bible is that of a Savior and of a loving God who desires that all humans be saved from eternal separation from God in a place called hell. The bible says that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9). From God s word to mankind, we glean the following facts as described herein.
