God decided to save us not because of anything we have done, or could ever do, but simply by his Love and kindness. "God demonstrates His love for us in this, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus Christ paid the wages of sin for us, He died in our place.
God loved you enough to send his only son to die in your place. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son so that whoever believes in Him would not perish, but have eternal life" Only those who believe in Jesus Christ receive this salvation. Knowing about what Jesus has done isn't enough, you need to apply it to your life. We are not saved by knowledge, but we are saved by God's grace alone through faith along in Jesus Christ alone.
This isn't the end of the story. On the third day after Jesus died for you, He was raised from the dead by God. He is alive, having conquered death and sin. Jesus is alive today, and you can know Him.
After hearing what God has done for you, you need to put your faith,
your trust in Jesus Christ to save you. (see How to Start following Jesus
Christ)
Here is one verse that fits perfectly here. Romans 10:9-11 "(9)That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (10) For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. (11) As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
