For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.   For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world,  but that the world might be saved through Him.     John 3:16-17

The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
Heaven is a free gift. It cannot be earned or deserved.
All people are sinners and cannot save themselves.
God is merciful (He loves us and does not want to punish us) but He is also just (He must punish sin). Sin is any failure to obey the Law (The Ten Commandments).
Jesus Christ is both the Son of God (Fathered by the Holy Spirit) and Son of man (born of the Virgin Mary)
Jesus, being both God and man, paid for our sins by dying on the cross for us. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day.
Faith (trusting) in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation is the only way to heaven.
The purpose of our life is to glorify God. The good things we do are done in thankfulness for what God has done for us (We are not earning our way into heaven).
