Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

They say that if you believe in Christ and ask for forgiveness, you'll be forgiven. They add that Jesus came to the world to save humans who err in observing the strict laws. Hence, he came to offer salvation because the laws were too rigid. Whoever believes in him and asks for forgiveness will enjoy eternal life. Note that he did not come to end the laws but to offer an alternative to salvation and gaining eternal life. For instance, the laws stated that one offense could affect salvation for all descendants of the offender even innocent ones. So Jesus came to lighten the yoke for such innocent descendants.
