Galatians 1:3-4 ESV

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

The Bible said our current human world is evil and corrupted by sins. Human do not live as God has designed us to live. In general, people do not live in love, of God and neighbors. People do not walk in the way of love, patience, kind, not envy, not boast, not consider ourselves better than others. People do not seek righteousness and rejoice in the truth, but they enjoy wicked deeds and falsehood. Is there anyone of us can claim to have never sin, to keep God's way consistently? No, none can. The world we live in, the present age, is evil. And we contribute our part in that. Thus all of us have fall short the glory of God.

By right, we cannot live in God's presence and must go to hell with the evils. However, God has sent Jesus Christ to come and die for our sin, so in Him we gain acceptance and righteousness with God. With that we can know God as our Heavenly Father, able to pray to Him, receive His guidance and blessings, and live eternally in His presence.

Delivery from sin, knowing God and living in His presence,ldeparting from worldly life and learning the better way to live, gaining eternal life with Him and other brothers and sisters in Christ forever. That's the free grace of God in Jesus Christ, purchased by His blood and sacrifice on the cross
