Without the ransom sacrafice of Jesus man would continue on with no hope. Life would just be a cycle of death.
The ransom make available to mankind the opportunity to live forever the way God had intended in the Garden.
Man get's to choose how he lives/believes.
Ignoring Jesus will result in a life with no future. death.
There is no burning hell for the wicked. It's just dead. No existance.
I think people who truly live by Jesus teachings are better for society. If someone lives with unselfish motives based on true love for humanity, that's better than the guy who is on meth who is willing to kill you for your pocket change.
Morals are everything.
You tell me- If everyone lived as they themselves wanted to be treated, would the world be a better place?
Of course it would.
Honestly, look at any problem in the world and try to determine it's root cause. You will find that they are all due to selfish conduct of the people without morals.
Many times, ( majority of times ) this is the people who claim they believe.
