People Love the Truth.They want to have questions answered,like Who is God? and Why are we here? and Where are we going? Disillusioned with what they saw, they started searching and so they found something...!

“No man that has put his hand to a plow and looks at the things behind is well fitted for the kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:62
Jesus . . . gave himself a corresponding ransom for all.—1 Tim. 2:5, 6.
As descendants of Adam, we have inherited an imperfect body prone to sin and eventual death. When Adam sinned, we were in his loins, so to speak. So the sentence of death included us. If Jehovah were to reverse the death process without the payment of a ransom, he would be untrue to his word. In effect, Paul spoke for all of us when he said: “We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin. Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death?” (Rom. 7:14, 24) Only Jehovah God could provide the legal basis whereby he could justly forgive us our sins and free us from the penalty of eternal death. This he did by sending his beloved Son from heaven to be born as a perfect human, who could give his life as a ransom for us. Unlike Adam, Jesus remained perfect. Indeed, “he committed no sin.”—1 Pet. 2:22. w10 8/15 2:9, 10
