The first thing is to recognize that you are sinner. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

Our sin separates us from God, both in this life and in the life to come. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

God does not desire us to be separated from him, so He sent His Son to die for our sins. “But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

After dying on the cross, Christ was buried in another man’s tomb. “When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.” Matthew 27:57-60

Christ’s burial confirmed His physical death, but in death He conquered the one who had the power over death. “that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” Hebrews 2:14b
