The penalty for sin is death. The Bible is pretty clear about this.
"For the wages of sin is death" - Romans 6:23
"For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die" - Romans 8:13
"but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." - Genesis 2:17
Because of sin, death has been earned. Not just physical death but spiritual death, meaning your soul. In this spiritual death a soul will suffer eternal punishment and torment and be eternally separated from God. Justice must be served. This place is called Hell and means eternal separation from God. Not a place you ever want to go.
God is a just God and sin must be punished. We can do nothing about sin on our own.
...But here is where the good news comes in. God has provided a solution!
