The Bible says everybody is born spiritually dead. Another way of saying this is people don't have a relationship with, or 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 a 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. This is Jesus' gift of His own body and blood
If a person believes this, the Bible says God forgives the person and that person gives them eternal life.
