Because we, as people, can not do what is needed for salvation on our own, God sent Jesus to be the perfect sacrifice.
He came down as a human being to be who we are, but without flaw (like the sacrifices in the Old Testament - flawless and sinless) because we are born sinful since Adam and Eve. Now there is grace through the blood that was spilled to redeem us (like the blood that was painted over the homes during passover).
Instead of sending us to hell where we belong, He sees the blood over the doorway, the blood on the altar, the blood of His son.. covering all of it. If we believe that He did this for us, realize WHY he did this for us, know that we can never be perfect on our own because we are sinful, repent and lay those sins down at his feet, and turn to live the way He calls us to live.. THIS is the way.
THIS is the gospel.
and THIS is why we cannot get to heaven with Him.
