When God created Adam and Eve,he gave them a conscience, and a knowledge of what was good.He also gave a free will along with rules and laws, an conditions to live by.To begin with God asked Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of good and evil.God hoped the people would love Him so much that they would always choose freely to listen and obey him.They were told truthfully that if they didn't there would be a consequence, a punishment.

At first Adam and Eve obeyed God out of love for Him.But later they used their free will to disobey him.Adam and Eve had used their free will to commit a terrible act of disobedience to God.They then opened up their hearts to the knowledge of good and evil. Once that knowledge was in them,it couldn't just be plucked out of their minds.That disobedient act was called Sin.
The law God had set up called for blood to be shed from the evildoer, the sinner..the who had used his free will to disobey God.Adam and Eve had been warned that they would surely die if they went against God's spoken rules.

But listen, when it came to the crunch, God couldn't part with Adam and Eve forever.He loved them sooo much that the thought of having them just disappear,never to be seen again, was too much to bare.So God and the Word, his son,(See John 1:1.)And Holy Spirit
made a plan to save Adam and Eve.They figured out how they could still get Adamand Eve to fill the world with people, and save all of them all at once.They made a promise to Adam and Eve that God's son would come to earth to be sacrificed in their place.He would shed his blood in the place of all sinners! After telling Adam and Eve of this, they taught them how to never forger that the saviour would come to earth.They set up the sacrificial system where a lamb would be caught and killed, then burnt on an alter.When God would see this, he would see that they still had faith in his promise to send the saviour.
Generations came and went for hundreds of years until one day God's son was born through Mary.He was now intertwined in human flesh.His spirit being now one with human skin and bones.God his father had asked that Mary name him Jesus for His ministry on earth.Jesus, God's son, had to remain small as a child for many years,until his frame and flesh matched that of a fully grown man.When the time was right, Jesus went to the cross to be tortured, and killed in the place of all sinners on the face of the planet.He was being punished for all mankind's evil acts.

Once this sacrifice was completed
