I believe the universe and everything in it was created by God. God made rules for his creation to live by, and humanity rebelled against him and broke those rules. This caused many problems, but in short, it was not good. People since then have continued to live how they desire and in doing so, often sin and go against God.
I believe that all people, myself included, don't deserve anything good from God, in fact, I believe we actually deserve judgement for our deeds. People lie, hurt others, make selfish choices, and often even the good things done have evil desires mixed in.
God chose to love us despite this. However, he did not choose to just forgive us and have nobody take any punishment for the crimes committed. Instead God sent his son, Jesus, who came to earth and lived His life as a human being. During His life He did not sin, He performed miracles, helping those around Him, teaching them, and He foretold his death and the reason for it.
Jesus came to live a life without sin, so that He could die as a sacrifice for you, me, and everyone else. He decided to take the punishment that I should have been given and pay the cost with pain and his death.
After being killed by the people around Him, He rose from the dead 3 days later. This proved once again that He was more then a human being and that He has power over death.
A Christian is someone who recognizes that they have sinned and done evil things. They admit they deserve to be punished for their sins. They know that they can't fix this one their own, instead they need mercy from God. That comes from Jesus. All someone has to do is believe in Jesus and what he did, and they will be given mercy. That mercy is known as salvation. Salvation from where they were originally going, hell, and salvation from the evils of this world.
