Christ - The Only Way

As per John14:6 - "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

So if you want to come to our Father the creator of the universe, there is no way but only Christ.
Christ died for all all our sins/trespasses and its for you to accept him as your personal savior. If you accept Christ then you will be saved from your sins and all your sins will be forgiven. And you will come to Father and you will live with him forever in the heaven.

If you don't accept Christ, then there is hell for sure and you will be thrown into hell and you will suffer there for ever. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in hell.

God's Grace

The grace of God is a free gift to all the human kind. Before the foundation of the earth, God knows that man will fall into sin. Hence god had set a plan to deliver his only begotten son to save the man. Jesus Christ came in to this earth to fulfill the purpose that God had commanded him. He gave his own life to save the man. God sees this and liked this. Now because of the free gift that God had given to us i.e. to send his only son to this earth to save us by facing the death on behalf of us and given us the salvation. How graceful our God is.
What else we can give him to reciprocate his grace. We cannot give anything which is precious in this world. God didn't want anything from us but wants us to come to him by accepting him. God wants to live in us. Hence this is the time that we should repent and accept Jesus Christ as our savior.
