To my Grandchildren the story of Salvation

God wants us all to know the meaning of the Cross. How Jesus on it, did save all who were lost. The garden of Eden, is where it all begins. God created two humans, both without sins. Gave clear instructions, to Adam the man. Obey what I say and live great in this land. I will make a female version, an equal to you. Tell her the same things, I've told you to do. If one or both of you, disobey what I say. You no longer will be blessed and I'll send you away. If you both obey, then all will go right. Choose your own way, you'll be banned from my sight. There is only One in charge and that will be Me. Everything you both do, just know I will see. There's another I created, who wanted my place. I cast him down from heaven, to earth in disgrace. To get back at me, he concocted a plan. To encourage rebellion in every woman and man. I'm available to both of you, twenty-four hours a day. If you are in need of anything, you have only to say. No sooner than God left, and the humans were alone. They both disobeyed and everything went wrong. God called out to Adam. "Son, where can you be?" I'm hiding because that woman tricked me! "My children, bad choice, I must now send you away" In this perfect place, imperfection can not stay. Stay here now and you'll remain that way til the end. Eternally cursed, due to your one act of sin. The promise I made was, if a perfect man falls. It would require a perfect mans death, to restore all. I place the responsibility, directly upon you. The curse fell on Adam, because of what he chose to do. Eve disobeyed and it spread to her too. Depart for my Prescence, that is both of you! Like cancer any offspring, that come from her loins. Will be cursed like you two, the moment they're born. It will spread billions of times, throughout the land. Cursing the lives of each woman, child and man. Because there's no one perfect now and never will be. I must become One of you, to set you all free. Many years later, God came to earth as a man. Told 12 men who he was and taught them his plan. Said his name was Jesus, he came to die for the lost. No one else met his standard, so he must die on the cross. Once it was finished, He'd return to his Throne. Welcoming the believer, when they die and come home. To become a believer, they must agree it was He. That died in their place, thereby setting them free! It sounds way too simple, but yes, it's still true. It's God's grace and his love, showing mercy to you.
