To begin with, all people are basically evil. All people deserve death and hell because every person has sinned. If God was fair, every person would be dead now and in hell because every person has sinned. We do not want fairness from God. We want mercy and compassion. Instead of condemning us all to hell, God showed His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Jesus died for us to give us a free way out of punishment for our sins. All we need do is repent and believe. This offer is for all people at all times. Because God loves the world, he gave His only Son so that whoever believes in him will not die in his sins but have eternal life.
