Anakin Skywalker Character Analysis [Part 3B] (Best Star Wars Character of All Time Series)

[@donavonhoward114]

Great video man. Personally, I believe Yoda gave excellent advise to Anakin. Yoda simply said, be careful when looking to the future, and let go of your fear of loss. That's basically another way of saying live in the moment, and don't look to the future for answers to the now. We can't see all ends. He didn't say leave your compassion behind, or break your attachments. Anakin lets his passion outweight his compassion. That's the shadow of greed that Yoda speaks about. It's one of Anakin's strengths, but also his greatest weakness. It becomes an obsession that starts as a protective instinct until that drive to save his wife (from an uncertain fate) becomes perverted by darkness. It becomes less about Padme, and what she wants, and more about Anakin simply feeling like he desperately needs Padme in order to live, and avoid the pain that her potential loss would inflict upon him. It's crazy how thin the line can be between unconditional love, and the poison that is obsession. It's plot lines like this that make Star Wars more than just a series of action films. It truly is a space opera.

Thank you. The Jedi could've been a bit better, but Anakin due to not wanting to be expelled keeps his love a secret even some people he should trust like Obi Wan, who could've helped. Ultimately, we can point the finger at the Jedi, The Council, Palpatine, but in the end Anakin made his choice and damned himself and it was only through his son (who shares a lot with his mother) that Anakin was saved.

This made a rainy day a little bit better. Thanks.

[@primusvsunicron1]

will this Anakin analysis also cover Darth Vader?

[@starwarsvet3209]

Considering anakin is vader...then yes

[@Shogo2020]

I couldn't imagine they would be separate

[@Digidragon55]

You should really watch Shattered Glass (2003), KraziKazi. It’s were Hayden is the lead!

[@Digidragon55]

If you want a break from Star Wars.

[@JohnSmithAaargh]

You have done well, lord KraziKazi. And now I sense you wish to continue your analysis of old Skywalker… 🔥

[@Lord-of-D]

It's a painful thing to believe in someone and not know their heart. Such is the crux of Obi-Wan's struggle here.

[@AceLM92]

These videos just keep getting better and better

[@HeyNimbus]

*Wouldn't it be better to release just one video containing the entire analysis rather than splitting it into several? I'm thinking in terms of algorithm and audience. The videos are great, keep up the great work!*

[@anandupadhyaya1656]

Love your videos. Can I ask where you get your clips of the films from? They are such high quality. I want to make video essays, but I’m unsure how to get such high quality clips.

[@miguelmanellablanco9095]

I Hope so. It'll mean a more tha a year analysis to a single character ❤

[@EricGraham94]

KraziKazi, yay or nay - when Anakin and Obi-Wan ultimately have their confrontation on Mustafar, it’s a result of these 2 men getting caught up in the other’s selfishness, that each of them were trying to have it both ways. For Anakin, it’s being a Jedi but also seeking the power to preserve Padme’s life. For Obi-Wan, it’s being a loyal Jedi to the Council and also being Anakin’s friend.

[@grasshopper-ln9us]

Technically he didnt let obiwan down...in the end per se'

3: At the time, Lucas would next revise the rough draft and alter it considerably. In this version, he would give Vader even more character, and add more emotional depth to his intentions, with his struggle to secure Luke for himself becoming an even greater focal point. It is in this revised rough draft that the true nature of Anakin Skywalker finally emerged. He would now be regarded as a fallen hero, one who lost his way and turned to the dark side - and was serving the Emperor seemingly against his will, a tragic victim himself. This was all building towards his redemption at the film’s conclusion. It was in this revised rough draft that the six-part saga of Star Wars would be truly solidified. Vader’s encounter with the Emperor does not occur in the film’s opening scenes. Instead, Vader’s screen introduction comes in a scene with Jerjerrod. In this version, Jerjerrod is given even more power - so much, in fact, that he is Vader’s superior. Here Jerjerrod’s contempt for Vader serves the specific purpose of making the audience identify and sympathize with Vader. Jerjerrod talks down to Vader, orders him around and is closer to the Emperor than he is. Jerjerrod is also portrayed as someone to be feared, as even Vader is cautious around him. As Admiral Piett and Vader walk to meet Jerjerrod’s arrival in the film’s opening sequence, they discuss him: “Never before have I heard of the Grand Moff leaving the planet to greet someone,” Piett obverses. “You are greatly respected, My Lord.” “Or greatly feared,” Vader grumbles. “The disgusting little bureaucrat is attempting to lay a trap for me.” “He’s a fool to think that you would not know,” Piett reassures him. “The Emperor’s council is no fool. He is very clever and quite dangerous.” In the opening scene onboard the Star Destroyer, Moff Jerjerrod arrives with his dignitaries, and a welcoming party of officers and stormtroopers honor his visit. Vader: You honor me with your presence, My Lord. Jerjerrod: Yes, I know. (Looking around). You may rise. All this fuss just for me, an impressive display, I must say. (Sniffs the air). Yes, well the Emperor sends you his blessing… Vader: But he still refuses to answer my transmissions. Jerjerrod: I’m afraid he’s quite busy. Vader: Then why was I ordered to return? Jerjerrod: He feels your prolonged stay in the outer systems has not agreed with you. Vader is very angry and it takes all the control he can muster to contain himself. Jerjerrod starts for the hanger entrance. Vader follows. Vader: Don’t you toy with me. Jerjerrod: All right, then… the emperor is disturbed with your failure to deal with young Skywalker and he has decided to handle the matter personally. You will supervise the construction of the Battle Stations (two death stars at that point). A task he feels will be much less demanding. Vader: But, I have all but turned him to the dark side of the Force. Jerjerrod: The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation. Skywalker is more powerful now, than before your feeble attempts to convert him. And later we got this exchange: Vader: He can’t do this. The boy is mine! Jerjerrod: That seems to be part of the problem. It would appear that you still have some feelings for your troublesome offspring… The Emperor will succeed, where you have failed. You are weak Lord Vader, more machine than man. The Emperor’s plan has already been put into motion. The entire rebel force is on its way to us, for one last, hopeless confrontation, so I suggest you prepare your fleet. Vader: My son would not be so foolish as to fall into such a trap. Jerjerrod: Ahh, but, he is not with them. Your son is on his home planet of Tatooine. He will soon be in our hands, and the Emperor will have his way with him. Vader: Get off my bridge! Jerjerrod: As you wish… The grand Moff turns and walks off the bridge followed by his dignitaries. The Admiral and his captains go back to their duties. Vader stands alone on the bridge looking out across the vast sea of stars. Vader (to himself): Luke, beware, you are the Emperor’s prey now. Neat, right? It’s a quite a startling scene of character depth for Vader. He is shown to have feelings for Luke for the first time, and is genuinely concerned that his son will be in danger. Cleary, Lucas was shifting the focus towards Vader and his redemption. It’s interesting to note that much of the exchange in the above scenes would be transplanted to the Emperor’s arrival in the final film, and other sections would be reused with Jerjerrod’s arrival in the opening scene - but with the roles reversed. Vader’s paranoia of the Emperor is also much more developed, but he has good reason to believe as such. And the writing evolution continued for Episode 6. Vader finds out that The Emperor has Luke. He becomes consumed with Rage and confronts Jerjerrod. “What is the Emperor doing with my son?” he demands, but Jerjerrod instead states that Vader should stay away. Vader finally lifts Jerjerrod up by the throat and breaks his neck. He then storms toward the imperial palace to rescue Luke from the Emperor’s clutches. His voice echoes through the chamber. Vader: Jerjerrod! Jerjerrod (Voice over): It is not nesecarry to shout, my old friend. Vader: What is the Emperor doing with my son… Jerjerrod: My Lord Vader, the Emperor does not have to answer to you… besides, I don’t believe he has your son. Where did you come by this piece of erroneous information? Vader: He’s been seen at the palace… and that’s where I’m going! Jerjerrod: The Emperor would prefer you didn’t… you would go against his wishes. The rebel attack is about to begin. You are truly fearless, my old friend. Vader grabs the grand Moff by the neck and begins to lift him off the ground with one hand; Jerjerrod gasps for air and struggles to free himself from the Dark Lord’s iron grip. Vader: You are not my friend, bureaucrat. I will go to the palace, but you will not live to see it. I no longer wish to be annoyed by your simpering ways. Jerjerrod: The Emperor will destroy you for this. Vader snaps the man’s neck, and he drops to the floor in a heap. Vader: I think not… your importance has been greatly exaggerated. As before, this is a very revolutionary turn for Vader’s character. As the film progresses, he becomes a character of equal importance to Luke, and one much more interesting, some would say. In fact, in this scene, he becomes a bizarre sort of hero, killing the Emperor’s minions to save his son. At the point of the writing and story Luke is in the tombs. Here, the underground lava setting from the rough draft was revived and reprised - Luke awakens on a small island on a lake of lava. Luke turns around to see Obi-Wan - in the flesh! He says that he and Yoda will help him defeat the Emperor and Vader, but Luke protests that he still can’t kill his own father. Meanwhile, Vader marches on the Emperor’s palace to save Luke. He storms the fortress, killing imperial guards who stand in his way and forces his way into the throne room, finally confronting the Emperor about his betrayal - but the Emperor begins choking Vader with the Force until he finally submits to him: Vader: Where is he? Emperor: Safe… there is no need for you to worry. I will take good care of him… Vader: It is for me to train my son… you must… The Emperor raises his hand, and Vader’s breathing suddenly stops. The Dark Lord struggles at his controls, attempting to regain his air supply. He chokes. Emperor: You forget yourself… Lord Vader. I will tolerate no more discussions on the subject. The boy is mine to train. Your place is with the fleet. Vader collapses on the floor and the Emperor lowers his hand. Vader starts breathing again and rises to a kneeling position. Vader: Forgive me, Master. Emperor: The Rebels will soon begin their attack. You must be ready for them. For now that I have all of them in one place, they will be crushed once and for all. Vader: Yes, my master. Emperor: Now take your leave, for I have your son to attend to. Vader rises and exists the throne room, and the giant door slides closed behind him.

4: This scene is pivotal in Vader’s character development. We finally see the power of control the Emperor has over Vader - Vader’s servitude to him is revealed as not a partnership of evil, as the previous films had portrayed it as, but a rather tragic one of unwilling obedience. Soon after this scene, The Emperor travels down the elevator to confront Luke in said tombs. Vader watches from the shadows, secretly following him down there. The Emperor arrives and sees Obi-Wan with Luke. Yoda appears as a ghost, and the Emperor has a very curious reaction to him - “You!” he says in shock upon seeing the Jedi Master. Vader steps out of the shadows as the confrontation starts and joins his master. After the Emperor’s treatment of him previously, we now view his siding with him as a much more pitiful action. Vader must obey his master, though he remains torn between his loyalties to him and his son. The Emperor orders Vader to kill Luke and gives him a lightsaber, and the battle ensues. As father and son duel, the Emperor tells Obi-Wan that the boy will soon fall to the dark side; Obi-Wan says he has foreseen the Emperor’s death but the Emperor refuses to believe it. Luke fights his father across the lava rocks with all his strength and gives into his anger, finally forcing Vader to fall, his arm slipping into the lava. The Emperor goads Luke to finish him off, telling him it is the power of the dark side that he feels, but Luke refuses, tossing away his lightsaber and saying: “If he is to be destroyed, you must do it!” The Emperor turns and fires lightning at Obi-Wan but Luke jumps in front of him, and Yoda shiels Luke as in the previous draft. Luke soon begins to tire under the strain of the Emperor’s power, but as his strength is about to disappear Vader runs at the Emperor to save Luke, and both Vader and the Emperor stumble into the lava and are destroyed: Emperor: This is the power of the Dark side that you deny. Your strength will never match it. Luke struggles to remain conscious against the superior power of the Emperor. Luke: Yoda… Emperor: Obi-Wan foresaw my destruction at your hands, young Skywalker, but it seems his vision was clouded… Perhaps there is still another Skywalker. Why can I not see, could the netherworld have influenced my perception? Another skywalker… your father! The Emperor turns around to see Lord Vader flying at him. The lightning bolts around Luke disappear as Vader hits the Emperor, knocking them both into the fiery lake of lava. The hideous screams of the Emperor are soon muted. Luke struggles to his feet and stares at the spot where his enemy and his father disappeared into the cauldron of molten rock. Ben puts his hand on the young Jedi’s shoulder. Ben: It is in Yoda’s hands now. Luke: He turned back to the good side. Ben: Yes, he did. Vader finally chooses to turn on his master once and for all when he sees his son in danger, and dies killing the Emperor. Once might argue that Lucas, perhaps, worried to have redeemed Vader too much, as the final film and the novelization toned down Vader’s humanity and the progress of his journey at the point, making Vader’s struggle more subtle and, perhaps, subconscious In the rough draft Vader’s audience with the Emperor occurs at the beginning of the movie, right after Leia has been given clearance to land on the Green Moon. Vader and Grand Moff Jerjerrod arrive on Had Abbadon, descend into a vast steaming pit, and reach the level of the throne room, which looks out over a fuming lake of red lava. They approach a small, shrouded figure sitting on an island in the middle of the volcanic lake. This is the Emperor, Supreme Ruler of the Galactic Empire and Master of the dark side of the Force. Again, the development of Episode 6 is so interesting to remember: In the revised rough draft, on his Star Destroyer Vader asks Admiral Piett where he can find Grand Moff Jerjerrod. Piet explains that he is in the private communication chamber; All surveillance in the room has been cut off, and his coded transmission is undeceivable. Piet also informs Vader that the extra patrol has arrived on the Sanctuary Moon with General Veers under command to search for Rebels. In the communication chamber Jerjerrod kneels before a huge holographic image of the Emperor, who orders him to bring Skywalker directly to him and says that Vader should know nothing of their conversation. It was decided during story meetings that Uncle Owen was in fact Ben’s brother. Owen always resented Ben for imposing Luke on them, and now Ben is taking the blame for what is happening and is feeling guilty. Lava burning Anakin’s likeness from Vader in Episode III and eventually melting Vader away to leave only Anakin behind seems relatively interesting from a symbolic standpoint, though perhaps a mixture between Had Abbadon and the Death Star could have been reached, location-wize, since I kinda like the idea of Luke’s final fight happing in space. The abandoned death of the Emperor could have served to more obviously bring home the fact how powerful Palpatine was, that one fast, last second attack was the only way to destroy him. Vader dying with Palpatine was a cool idea, though I would have hated to lose the last conversation between Anakin and Luke. Perhaps this could have been rewritten with Luke speaking to Anakin’s force ghost later on? Hayden being used - and Anakin appearing as a force ghost later on in the first place - was meant for Star Wars’ visual language, to portray that Vader was destroyed and Anakin’s core had survived. That said, I also liked that the Episode 6 novelization almost tamed down that force-ghosts scene, with Luke merely thinking he’d spotted Yoda’s, Kenobi’s and Anakin’s reflections in the victory-party’s fire for half a second, almost wondering if he’d imagined the whole thing but feeling warm and full of love. This could have been neat since fans could have taken for themselves if they wanted Anakin to have gotten a life after death or not… I think giving Vader a rival in Episode 6 would have been nice and made Jerjerrod a lot more interesting, you know? The actor did a fine job, really, but the character is less memorable than I would have liked - especially since he never shows up in the film again. Admittedly, the Return of the Jedi novelization fleshed out Jerjerrod more, though, in a way, his novel-version seem to clash with the movie original. Movie-Jerjerrod comes across as more nervous, scared and (minimally) wimpy, for lack of a better term. The novel version, though, is cocky, smug and arrogant. Novel-Jerjerrod thinks to himself that he sees no need to rush, even when Vader has arrived, as, in his eyes, great men are those that make others rush for them. Later, in an additional scene not in the movie, Jerjerrod is the one planning to blow up Endor when defeat seems closer especially after Palpatine’s death. Novel-Jerjerrod grins with sadism but also feels a certain sadness in the lead up to the green moon’s destruction. He viewed the rebellion as the younger kid to bully on the play-ground, the animal to torture, only for his prey to gain the ability to fight back. He feels hatred for rebels but also bemoans the loss of his opportunity to fight and play with them. This makes Jerjerrod a bit more memorable in the novel, though I’m not sure if it aligns with the movie version. It’s not a surprise that several fans don’t even know Jerjerrod’s name. The abandoned dynamic between Jerjerrod and Vader could have helped to make the character stick with the movie-audiences themselves already. Plus, the abusive nature of the dark side and the dynamic between Vader and Sidious could have, perhaps, been more noticeable and manage a harsher gut punch should we have seen Vader being mistreated by the Emperor. I don’t like the idea of Obi-Wan or Yoda coming back to life, though. I always imagined that one reason, at least, why Kenobi didn’t show up to Luke earlier or more often was because he’d reached a different level of existence, something that didn’t allow him to just stay with the mortal world or interact with it without any limitation (which seems to be backed up by the Star Wars novel “The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan” by Ryder Windham - plus Empire seems to imply that Kenobi hadn’t appeared to Luke between Episodes 4 and 5). “The life and Legend of Obi-Wan” also has Obi-Wan writing down his memories of Anakin, the Clone Wars, about Grievious, Dooku, Ventress, Palpatine and the clones as well as what came before that, including instructions on how to build a lightsaber. As far as I’m aware, Disney took that idea for their canon as well

1: The final battle sequence in the rough and first drafts is only five pages long; Han Solo has taught the Wookies to operate starships, and they join General Skywalker in the final attack. They fire at the surface of the space fortress, causing chain reaction explosions; Vader and the governor are killed in the battle when the fortress explodes. In the second draft the battle sequence is about ten pages long. Quickly, most of the Rebel fleet is destroyed and Luke is on his own, with Vader and his two wingmen on his tail. As in the movie, Han shows up and fires at one of the wingmen. Vader’s ship is hit and dives into Han’s spaceship, exploding on impact. In the second draft there is no princess Leia, instead, a character named Deak Starkiller, a twenty-five year old Jedi Knight, is part of the Rebel Blockade Runner and is taken prisoner by Vader. As in the movie, the droids escape in the lifepod and Artoo communicates to Threepio that he has received orders from Deak to seek someone named Owen Lars, who will lead them to “the one called Angel Blue” (Deak’s brother). In the second draft Leia is the daughter of Owen Lars and his wife, Beru, and appears only briefly. Remember, in that particular Script Deak Starkiller, not the princess, is held captive by Vader. In the second draft the droids land at Jundland, the edge of the Dune sea on the planet of Utapau, and after they separate, Artoo is captured by Jawas. In this early draft their description is identical to the way they ended up looking in the film. In that same draft, Artoo and Threepio have been reunited aboard the sandcrawler, the Jawas try to drive their tank down a trail but get stuck. During the commotion the droids manage to escape. An interesting scene in the third draft shows Ben Kenobi walking around the Death Star, seeking the “Kiber Crystal.” He finds himself in a conference room filled with about twelve bureaucrats “listening to an instructor explaining a type of technical philosophy.” Ben raises his hands, and suddenly all the bureaucrats and the instructor begin coughing and grabbing their throats. Soon they’re unable to breath and collapse. Two Sith Lords are walking near the crystal chamber, and one of them says he feels a disturbance. Eventually Ben reaches the chamber and finds the “Kiber Crystal” on a pedestal in the middle of the room. He sidesteps a series of invisible beams, his eyes light up, and he suddenly appears renewed with inner strength. He lifts his arms, and the crystal rises. It moves toward the old Jedi, but before it reaches him, it passes through a blue beam and sets of an alarm. In the early drafts the lasersword was a generic weapon, but eventually the sword became a unique weapon characteristic of a Jedi warrior. Han Solo appeared originally in the rough and first drafts as a “huge green-skinned monster with no nose and large gills”. In the early version of the story Solo is a Jedi Warrior and an old friend of General Skywalker. He’s been hiding and protecting Kane Starkiller, Annikin’s father. Solo takes Skywalker to meet three underground leaders named Datos, Occo, and Quist, who have arranged for the group to travel undercover aboard a “Baltarian freighter.” It’s interesting to note that in the first and rought drafts the personality of Annikin is close to what Han Solo would become in later drafts, especially in his behavior with Leia and in the development of their love-hate relationship. In the second draft Han Solo is a young corellian pirate only a few years older than Luke. He is burly, bearded, ruggedly handsome, and dressed in gaudy, flamboyant apparel. George Lucas’ notes describe Solo as a pirate and thug with a heart of gold; He is amoral and a lady-killer, and his goal is to buy a new ship. In this draft Han takes Luke to his home, a seedy slum dwelling where he lives with a female “Boma” named Oeeta, who is described as a fur-covered creature about five feet high, a “cross between a brown bear and a guinea pig” who speaks in a strange baboonlike call. In the third draft we’re introduced to Han Solo in the docking area. This time he is described as a tough James Dean-style starpilot, about twenty-five, who is simple, sentimental, and sure of himself. A very interesting change occured in the handwritten version of the fourth draft, in which Solo’s character is called “Jabba the Hutt”. But then Lucas reverted to the Name Solo. This revised fourth draft introduces Solo in the cantina in the arms of a lovely young alien girl, and for the first time we get the name of his ship, “the millenium Falcon.” Interesting is Empire, too. During meetings George Lucas and Leigh Brackett decided that the Emperor and the Force had to be the two main concerns in the film; the Emperor had barely been dealt with in the first movie, and the intention in the sequel was to deal with him on a more concrete level. Eventually this idea was used later on, in the third film. The Emperor, however, was then envisioned as a bureaucrat, Nixonian in his outlook and sort of a Wizard of Oz-type person. It was suggested that after the battle on the ice planet Vader would go into isolation, maybe in a cave with demons or a tall, dark tower surrounded by lava, sort of like hell. Vader would have gremlins or goblintype gargoyles with him. In the first draft the scene with Vader in his castle is intercut with Luke beginning his training. Vader lives in what’s described as a grim castle of black iron that squats on a rock in the midst of a crimson sea. He is feeding gargoyles from a golden bowl, and he suddenly stiffens, frightening even the creatures; he has felt a disturbance in the Force. Later Vader has a discussion with the Emperor, who appears on a communication screen, “caped and hooded in a cloth of gold.” He tells Vader that he also felt the disturbance in the Force and that Luke must be eliminated. In the second draft Vader talks on the video screen to Sate Molock, “Grand Vizier to his eminence the Emperor,” in his holograph chamber. Molock tells Vader that the Emperor in a bad mood. Vader reports that the base of Hoth has been destroyed and that he is tracking down survivors. Later Vader has his talk with the Emperor. The Emperor tells Vader to turn Luke to the dark side, and before his image fades away, he passes his hand over Vader’s head. In the revised second draft Sate Molock is called Sate Pestage. This character was ultimately deleted but could be said to have served as the inspiration for Sate Pestage, Palpatine’s lackey explored in the James Luceno novels “Labyrinth of Evil”, “Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader” and “Darth Plagueis”. Later Lucas himself would chime in on the Emperor: "Okay, well, this sequence always started out with Mace overpowering Palpatine, and then Palpatine using his powers to try to destroy Mace, and Mace deflecting his rays with his lightsaber. And it always was that Anakin cut the lightsaber out of his hand. But this part where he pretends to lose his power and be weak was something that I added later, 'cause this is, it moved the point where Anakin turns down to this moment right here, and you can see now, that it's very clear that he's, he, he wants him to go on trial so he can pump him for information about how to get these powers" ~Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith | George Lucas commentary

As far as I’m aware, Disney took that idea for their canon as well. The Journals of Ben Kenobi | Wookieepedia | Fandom Interestingly, The Darth Plagueis novel provides a possible recontextualization for Episode I. Plagueis: By now the Naboo crisis holds Coruscant in its grip. If we could provide a similar crisis in the senate then your election would be secured. Palpatine: Perhaps there’s a way. A vote of no confidence against Valorum. Plagueis: If you.. Palpatine: Not me. Queen Amidala. I will plant doubts about Valorum’s competency to handle the crisis into her head and scare her about what the trade federation’s rule would mean for Naboo. Then I’ll take her to the senate and allow her to see how much of a mess it has become. Plagueis: A grand show. Then she’ll not just bring about the vote of no confidence, she’ll also also race back home to aid her people. Palpatine: As we’ve always intended for her. This makes one wonder if Palpatine was playing even his surprise in Episode I - or if he, despite it all, couldn’t, at the end of the day, believe that Padmé would dare to travel to Naboo in that crisis. It would seem that Palpatine viewed Padmé as a scared little kid that wouldn’t dare to do something without a strong man guiding her. And it seems plausible that Palpatine wouldn’t have thought that Padmé would dare to go through with it. This would go along with Palpatine’s misogyny coming from how his mother was under the control of his strict and cold father Cosinga.

The Gospel summed up 1. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory - 1 sin disqualifies us from heaven - 1 separates us from God - 1 is enough to send us to Helll 2. God came down to earth in human form (Jesus) - to live the perfect life for us (have a perfect record) - suffer for us leading up to the cross, on the cross, and die for us - He did this, to take the FULL punishment for ours sins 3. This means, if we believe and follow Jesus, repent of (turn away from ours sins), ask God for forgiveness, for what we have done - Jesus will give us His record (which is perfect and clean) instead of us having our own record (which would be full of sins) - meaning we can enter into heaven, for all eternity, instead of going to hell for all eternity Share this message with as many people as possible, so they may have a chance at salvation and have a chance at being saved
