I can make it to heaven on my good works

.

I've been thinking a little bit lately since having a conversation with a friend about works and why works can't get you to heaven. I wanted to use the old testament to prove what we learn in the new testament. So while thinking about the old testament I came up to the most obvious of them all, the fall of mankind. God told Adam that the day he eats of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil he will surely die. Now did there need to be anything special about this fruit?? maybe, maybe not... but because the simple fact that God gave the command, doing anything else would be disobeying God, which is what the essence of what sin is. Now when God created man, man was without sin and everything was good. Adam had full fellowship with God, he would walk with Him and talk with Him, they where at peace with each other. Now when Eve took of the fruit (of the tree God commanded them not to eat) and Adam also ate it they died spiritually. It mentions that when they heard God they hid, they had fear, the relationship was broken. How many times did Adam disobey God to create this gap? once... and it is still like that, it only takes ONE sin, it doesn't matter how big or small. Can any man say that he has never commited not ONE sin? No man can say this, As it says in Romans:
"Rom 3:23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives."
And if a man claims he is without sin he is a liar and the truth is not in him as it says in:
1Jn 1:10 If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].
Ok so i've established you cannot restore your relationship(get to heaven) by your own works, since it only takes one sin to break that (besides the bible says that we are born sinners, its the result of what adam did, but given the same choice we would have done the same). It would seem like all is lost and there is no hope. If we assume that God doesn't care about us, why did he walk and talk with Adam in the garden of eden? even there you can see that man and God had a close relationship. Would not such a loving God want to restore the ones he loves back into fellowship with Him? God loves you and me so much and he wants this perfect relationship with Himself restored. Ok now for the hard part, I need to explain this so you can understand who Jesus is. When God created man, he said:
Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
now think carefully God didn't say "Let me make man in my image, in my likeness...." but rather he said "Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness, and let....", this US is the trinity, God is relational and he has complete unity in Himself... there are three parts that relate to each other and work as ONE, therefore ONE God. This is how they relate, Father-Son-Spirit, this is usage of human terms to explain something that is out of the scope of our language. Jesus is refered to many times in the old testament and if you really study it, and have insight you will see Him prophesied about quite allot.
Now Jesus was not born from the seed of man, but rather the seed of God when the Holy spirit came over Marry. This was God's son(relational remember), for He Himself is also God. Jesus came to restore our relationship to the Father, through His sacrifice (because since Jesus is God he would have been able to not go through it, but He chose to, because He loves us more then you could possibly imagine). This sacrifice paid the price for you and my sins, God asks us to believe in His Son and that His sacrifice paid the price for our sins and to repent and give our lives over to Him. When you do this, you have been restored to God. You will now have fellowship with the ONE and ONLY True God because of the free gift of what God has done through his unique Son(Jesus) for you.
