There is a broken nature that we are born with, no one has a way of escaping the lethal disease of death. When we understand that we are filthy sinners before a just God and His Son who is perfect like God the Father. Jesus Christ was able to be perfect because He was and is God. In the worldview that Christians have, we understand that death is not just a physical death, but also a spiritual death. All humans understand that at some point our physical life will end, where the debates come in is what happens after our physical bodies die. Paul speaks of how we experience two deaths in Romans 5, he says our sin has condemned us to be separated from God forever. He compares Adam and Christ in the way that through both eternal destinations are granted. Through Adam eternal death was brought into this world because he chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; in the same way, when Christ died on the Cross and then rose from the grave, He ushered in a new eternal destination for those who chose to believe He is who He said He is. He brought in eternal life because He lived a blameless life and died a sinner’s death, quenching God’s wrath. This is the cornerstone of our biblical worldview, if we do not believe that Christ is “the Way, the Truth, and the Light” then we can’t believe that God fulfilled his promises. If that is true then He cannot be trusted so why should we live our lives based on what He tells
