Why and how...that was before you were born.

[Ingtar]

Only someone that is perfect, that had never sinned, could be allowed into Heaven with God. God also promised, to those that love Him, a place with Him in Heaven. Because of this conflict, He sent His Son to die in my place, and in the place of anyone that accepts the sacrifice.

If it had only been one person saved in this way, He still would have died to fulfill His promise.
