The Christian Story

Once upon a time there was man, and man was good and man was sinless.
But man sinned.  The wages (cost) for sin is death.  But God did not
want to kill man, so He allowed for animals to be killed to pay
for man's sins.

Then came grace.  God sent his only son (fully God, yet fully man)
to die for the sins of man.  God now said that any one who beleived
that His son (Jesus) died for him would have all of his sins paid
in full for ever (forgiveness and grace).  Man did not change and
over night become sinless, he just was given an infinite expense
account.
