Salvation
Jesus is the Savior, the Messiah, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. Everyone is born into sin, and the consequence is death. Jesus' words to Nicodemus are the greatest need in a man's life, "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." (John 3:7) Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ you can be born again and have victory over sin & death.
God loves you and wants to save you.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Jesus died in your place to atone for your sin.

Matt 3:2 - ...Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
