For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord. Romans 6:23
The bad news is that we are all sinners and will be held accountable for our sins. The good news is that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die for our sins. He offers us forgiveness. What do we have to do to receive this forgiveness? Just accept it as a gift, as it was intended.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourself: it is the gift of God : Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
