God created mankind, which sinned against God. Despite mankind’s offenses, God became man and died in atonement for its sins. Faith in God, and obedience to His commamds, leads to eternal communion with Him.
Deus fit homo ut homo fieret Deus, (God became human that humans might become God)
or
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
or
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
Love God with all your heart, mind and soul; and your neighbor as yourself.
Greater love has no man than to lay down his life for his friend.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
