we need salvation because our sin separates us from a holy God. From Adam and Eve onward, humanity chose disobedience, bringing spiritual death and brokenness into the world. No amount of good works can erase that guilt. But God, rich in mercy, sent Jesus to bear our sin, restore what was lost, and offer eternal life. Salvation is God’s rescue—free, undeserved, and necessary for anyone who wants to be reconciled to Him.
