Because He loves us, God cannot stand to allow this separation or sin. But because He is perfect, he cannot allow our sin to go unpunished without ceasing to be perfect because He would then cease to be God. The sin-bill must be paid. Religion and good living cannot pay it.
Romans 6:23 says,
"for the wages of sin
is death, but the gift of
God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord."
So He paid for our sins Himself. He came to earth as Jesus Christ. He died on the cross for our sins
and 3 days later rose from the grave. The most important decision you will ever make is what you do with Him.
Romans 5:8 says,"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
