In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He then creates man and woman and breathes life into them. They had minds, choice, emotions and soul. Ol' Satan comes along and tempts, tricks and teases. They fall for his scheme and sin, breaking the heart of God, ruining their/mankind's relationship with God.
GOD WARNED 'EM.
Apostle Paul writes that all have sinned. He says the wages/payment of sin is death. We of course sin and death is a result. People pass away. the cemetery is full of all ages and status. It's a physical death and a spiritual one, that is in a punishment and apart from God.
With the power of choice, We following the first people sin against God and are going to die...But God who is rich in mercy.... God demonstrated His love toward you and me in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. The roman government put Him on the cross because of the religous leaders accusations. When they did God placed the sins of the world on Jesus. He died a sacrificial death on our behalf. He then raises from the dead and His tomb.
And if you would say Jesus is Lord of it all and believe in your heart/mind that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved/rescued. Again the Apostle Paul said You are not saved by your/our good deeds but by His grace through faith in Christ. It the gift of God. Have you recieved that gift?
Now you've made the correct decision and able to experience that joy God's Word talks about. You will experience eternity with God as you live a life of worship to Him now in this portion of life.
Congratulations.
