Why Death? Why Salvation?

The consequence of sin is spiritual death and  physical death. Spiritual death means separation from GOD by GOD's Spirit being taken away from man.
So GOD drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.  Genesis 3:24 

When the soul and spirit are taken away from the body there is physical death.
So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
 So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.
 So all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.  Genesis 5:5,8,14  

Such is the fate of all mortal beings who are born into this world in sin. We are born spiritually dead. We have this fleeting breath in our nostrils, which when taken away, we die physically. We would be eternally dead, separated from the Presence of GOD Who is The Giver Of Life, paying for our sins, wailing and gnashing our teeth in hell IF there is no intervention during our transient life on earth!

This is why we need salvation. Our eternal destiny can be changed! There is hope!!

GOD'S heart is to restore man to Himself. GOD gave laws to His people, to show them the path of life lest they die.

GOD Who is Holy, Holy, Holy, Just and Righteous, has made a way of escape for us from this sad predicament. Someone had to die so that we could escape eternal death.

 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  John 3:16-17 

GOD'S only Son, JESUS, sent from Heaven for this specific purpose, lived a sinless life and died as a criminal on the Cross, taking the sin of all mankind upon Himself. He died physically at the tender age of 33 years. He died spiritually for a moment when GOD turned His face away from His Beloved Son as He carried the sin of the world upon Himself. GOD raised Him up on the 3rd day victoriously. JESUS lives forever in Heaven with GOD.

 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9 

Now we have the opportunity and the liberty to bring our sins to the LORD JESUS and repent of them so that we may be forgiven. Our sins are then cancelled and we are seen by GOD as righteous in His Son JESUS. We become spiritually alive. Although we will die physically, we will continue to live blissfully, eternally with GOD in Heaven.

 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"  John 11:25-26
