John 3:16 For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes on him shall not perish but have ever lasting life.

You’re going to have to start as a child would start, ask God yourself, and start from there.

A larger discussion:

John chapter 1 says that God was the word. It says That this “word” was made flesh and dwelt among us. A Simple logical statement: If God was the word, and Jesus was that flesh the Gospel of John was writing about, then Jesus was God. Even a child of about 6 to 8 can understand that reasoning. Now can you believe it, do you have ears to hear it?...those are questions far above my station and between you and God to answer.

Christ said to the Devil during the time of his temptation: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. God IS the word,Jesus IS the Word made flesh, and we live by their words.

The Torah was God’s word written on stone tablets, Moses likened the transgression of the law as death, so the Hebrews were to obey the law...”Why would ye die?” Moses entreated his people.

Jeremiah 30 and 31 speak of a future time for Israel. Chapter 31:31-34 is more pertinent for this conversation because it speaks of God writing his laws directly into people, redirecting their internal operating systems as it were...

Note also verse 34 especially. It was at Pentecost that we saw the beginning fulfillment of this prophecy. Later on Peter had to learn the hard way that even non Jews were invited to Jesus and could take part in this Holy Spirit Baptism...this inculcation of “GOD IS THE WORD” directly into their beings.

31“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“when I will make a new covenant

with the people of Israel

and with the people of Judah.

32It will not be like the covenant

I made with their ancestors

when I took them by the hand

to lead them out of Egypt,

because they broke my covenant,

though I was a husband tod them,e ”

declares the Lord.

33“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel

after that time,” declares the Lord.

“I will put my law in their minds

and write it on their hearts.

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

34No longer will they teach their neighbor,

or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’

because they will all know me,

from the least of them to the greatest,”

declares the Lord.

“For I will forgive their wickedness

and will remember their sins no more.”
