Our God is a Holy and Just God, but also not without mercy, love, compassion. Since God is Just and Holy, he can not act contrary to his Just character, thus because we all have sinned and fallen short of His glory, we are worthy of death just as if a criminal is worthy of punishment for his crime(s). God knew we would never measure up to his perfect standard thus He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die in our place. Jesus is the perfect Lamb, sacrifice, because He knew no sin, He lived a perfect life here on Earth and He willingly became a humble servant to us and the Father and gave Himself up so that who ever believes in Him may have eternal life with and restore the relationship between God and man.
Christians are supposed obey God, Jesus Christ, we are supposed to worship them both as one, for our God is triune, consisting of God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit (one what (God) but 3 whos). We are to seek and love God with all our hearts, minds, souls, with all our strength. We are to love our neighbor as our selves, better yet, more then our selves. We all fail at doing this all the time, but if we ask in sincerity by repentance for God to forgive us He is Just and faithful to forgive us.

Jesus was the propitiation for our sin's (the only acceptable sacrifice for our sins). That those who believe in Him may have eternal life.
Being a Christian is to live a life that is Christ like.
Accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior means we have faith in the death and ressurection of Jesus. He has defeated sin and death once and for all. Those who give their lives to Him can have hope in the Glory of God.
The blood of Christ covers us making us justified before God and bringing us back into the relationship with Him in which we were created for.
Ok bit more than you asked for sorry

God made a rule. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. In the Old Testament, God's children brought their best livestock to shed their blood as a way of asking god to forgive their sins and to give them continued life. For their is life in the blood.
In the New Testament God came to earth and shed His own blood so that if we believe He did that for us we have forgiveness of our sins frever and eternal life. For their is eternal life in God's blood, for God never dies.
That is according to the Holy Bible from I understand it to mean at this point in my journey.
Some things take me than a few words.

He (being a God) died through predestined way also in order to show to the creatures whole deepness of Divine love (of Creator to its creature).
Generally the main purpose of christian life is alikeness to God:
1) For monks and hermits it means gathering in himself of the eternal (non-created) divine energy = beautitude of God. Cause in the Doomsday each one (saved) will be placed to a certain position in divine hyerarhy in accordance with gathered energy.
2) Salvation is primer goal of whosoever christian. And that is why martyrs faced tortures and death and in the upcoming chaos of antichrist rule same challenge will be face by every real christian = to keep life through bowing to the beast either to keep soul through death

Love in practice, not in jaw flappin:
Leviticus 19:9-18,29-31 "When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely harvest the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and the stranger; I am Yahweh your Father. You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie one to another. Do not vow falsely with My Name, and so profane the Name of your Father. I am Yahweh. You shall not defraud your neighbor, nor rob him. Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight. Do not curse the deaf or put a stumblingblock in front of the blind; but reverence your Father. I am Yahweh. Do not pervert judgment: You shall not show partiality to the poor, nor honor to the person of the great. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor fairly. You shall not go about tale-bearing or slandering among your people. Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am Yahweh. You shall not hate your neighbor in your heart. Rebuke your brother or your sister frankly, so you will not share in his or her guilt. Do not seek revenge nor bear a grudge against one of your own people; but you shall love your neighbor; whether a brother or an enemy, as yourself. I am Yahweh.Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot; or the land will fall into harlotry, and the land will become full of wickedness. Do not turn to mediums nor familiar spirits. Do not seek after them, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh. You shall stand up before the gray headed, and you shall honor the presence of an Elder or Teacher; thereby giving reverence to your Heavenly Father. I am Yahweh. If a stranger lives with you in your and, do not mistreat him. The stranger living with you must be treated as one of your native-born, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh. Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight, or quantity. You shall have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah; a dry measure, and an honest in; a liquid measure. I am Yahweh your Father Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Therefore, you must observe all My statutes and My judgments, and perform and do them. I am Yahweh."
Yeremyah 17:9, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?"
If left up to man, man will say they love but it will be a twsited worldly version, not true love.
No, love is only what Yahweh says it is, anything less is falsehood.
Revelation 22:12-15, "And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
