We discovered that He died as the substitutionary sacrifice to pay the death penalty which is required for sin.
Since everyone has sinned -- everyone must pay his or her own death penalty (of eternity in Hell)
UNLESS
they confess their sins and ask God for forgiveness.
If they do that --
Then Christ's substitute death is offered to that person as a gift !!
If that person accepts the gift of Christ's death instead of his own and accepts Jesus as his Lord and God
then that person is immediately forgiven (is 'saved' from death / eternity in Hell) and becomes a Child of God -- (They will be 'born again' and will able to say "I'm a Believer")
and they will spend eternity with Him in heaven.
How, exactly does a person do this? you ask.
