Whenever you get to really know someone, after having navigated beyond their character flaws and weaknesses and bad habits, you inevitably discover a marvelous, unique being, flashing into the infinite universe, a being who is so obviously created by no one less than an almighty and everlasting God, that his or her potential immortality cannot be denied. These people, fallen and sinful as they are, are not toys to be cast aside. These are divine creations gifted with Godly free will and Godly creativity.
God sent Himself as His own obedient Son to Earth to redeem as many of His divine creations as possible by His ultimate sacrifice, taking on all of our sins, past, present, and future, pain and torture beyond imagining, death itself. He then rose again, ascended into Heaven, and promised to come again. God is love. He could not do otherwise.
All that is required of us to begin our eternal life is to believe, confess, repent, and be forgiven. Prayer, listening to the Holy Spirit, and obedience will take us the rest of the way.
Happy Easter!
