The Bible says everybody is born spiritually dead. Another way of saying this is people don't have a relationship with/know God. This is because the first man and woman did not obey God and so their relationship with God - the creator and sustainer of life - was broken. This is sin. Throughout the history of mankind - as told in the Bible - the way for a person to restore their relationship with God is to acknowledge their relationship with God is broken and to offer a sacrifice.
In the early history of mankind this is what people did. God chose the nation of Israel to be His representatives on earth. Israel was supposed to show the other nations what a relationship with God is like. But Israel turned from God and His ways and followed other gods.
So God came to earth as a man - Jesus - and died as the 'lamb of God', a sacrifice for the sin of all who believe.
If a person believes this, the Bible says God forgives the person and that person's relationship with God is restored. Also the believer has the gift of eternal life.

How is Jesus a gift from god?
After the first man and women broke their relationship with God, by disobeying God, it has been God's way for a person to sacrifice an animal - often a lamb - to maintain their relationship with God. When God chose the nation of Israel to be His representative on earth God gave them a sacrificial system to atone for people's sin. However Jesus came to earth lived and died as the "lamb of God". That is, Jesus was a sacrifice for sin and people who believe in Him will not have to face the consequences of their sin. In this way Jesus was a gift from God. People no longer have to sacrifice animals to restore their relationship with God when they sin. Jesus' death is accepted by God as a sacrifice for all sin.
