People are born, we live, and we die. The first death, however, is not the end. It's the beginning of eternity where our souls will go on and on in one of two places: Heaven or Hell. In Heaven our souls live eternally with God, and we will never be hungry or thirsty, and will never suffer any pain or sorrow (Revelation 21:3-4). In Hell our souls will die eternally in the Lake of Fire where there is only immense sorrow and pain (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9)
The bad news is every human being is predestined to Hell because every human being has sinned, or broken one of God's moral laws, at least once in their lifetime (Romans 3:10-12). And just like water and oil do not mix, imperfect people with unforgiven sins cannot share space with our perfect God in Heaven (Isaiah 3:5).
The good news is, God wants everyone to be with Him in Heaven forever, so He made a way for our sins to be forgiven and our death sentence to Hell commuted (John 3:16). God sent His only Son Jesus to die on a cross and pay for our pardon with His own life so that everyone who chooses to follow Him will be forgiven and welcomed into Heaven (John 14:1-3)
