Denny answers:
God sent His Son Jesus to earth as a man. Unlike everyone else, Jesus never did anything wrong. He never sinned. He was not only man but also perfect, holy God.
Jesus didn't deserve to die because death is the punishment for sinners. But Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment that we deserve for our sin. Jesus is the only way to have your sins forgiven. God will forgive anyone who turns from sin and trusts Jesus. Instead of seeing that person's sins, God chooses to see only Jesus' goodness.
