How did the death of Jesus make people right with God?
The Bible says everybody is born spiritually dead. Another way of saying this is people don't have a relationship with/know God. This is because the first man and woman did not obey God and so their relationship with God - the creator and sustainer of life - was broken. This is sin. Throughout the history of mankind - as told in the Bible - the way for a person to restore their relationship with God is to acknowledge their relationship with God is broken and to offer an animal sacrifice. In the early history of mankind this is what people did. God chose the nation of Israel to be His representatives on earth. Israel was supposed to show the other nations what a relationship with God is like. But Israel turned from God and His ways and followed other gods. So God came to earth as a man - Jesus - and died as the 'lamb of God', a sacrifice for the sin of all who believe. If a person believes this, the Bible says God forgives the person and that person gives them eternal life. 1John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1Johnn 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Believers of Christianity?
Are called Christians. They believe that man once had a relationship with God but that relationship has been broken by man's disobedience (sin). Throughout the history of mankind God has revealed Himself to man and shown man the way man can restore his relationship with God. God's ultimate revelation to man was through His son Jesus Christ who died as payment for man's sin. Belief in his death puts a person right with God. The Bible tells this story of man and God. These verses are from the book 1John in the Bible: 1Jn 5:11 The testimony is this: God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son. 1Jn 5:12 Whoever has the Son has this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
