The wages of sin is death. So then to pay the wages you will have to die. That is, unless Someone was made to be sin for you, was delivered for your offences and raised again for your justification and that's exactly what took place 2000 years before you were ever born!Ummm...
because all have sinned we WANT to follow Him and do as He did because we are tired of doing wrong...
I can't bat 1000% but I want to...and I have a good coach...ya dig?
If we hadn't sinned we wouldn't need to follow Him as we could do as we pleased since we would be sinless...
So now I guess be so sick of sin you want to do as He did..."go and sin no more" He said...
2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
When you trust the Lord for salvation after hearing and believing the word of truth (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) you will be baptized into the one body by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13) and sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13-14) unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30).
God, through the faith and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, did all the work necessary to save you. Receive the free gift. Receive it by faith; believing Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). No matter who you are, where you've been or what you did while you were there, God will save you when you trust Him for salvation believing what Christ did for you!
Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
