In this verse, Jesus tells the Pharisees that if they do not believe that He is God, they will die in their sins. Today, the same is true for all of us.
Without Jesus, we would lead lives of sin and ultimately die with our sin unatoned for. There would be no power to break the bondage of sin in our lives if we do not have a relationship with Jesus. There is no such thing as a good person -- everyone has fallen short of who we were meant to be. Without Jesus, we have no hope of becoming anything other than sinners.
However, when we believe in Jesus, we will no longer die in our sins. We are set free from being slaves to sin on a daily level. We have the power to say no to things that are ungodly, like gossip, jealousy, cheating, and fear, and instead put on the righteousness of Christ. When we die, the blood of Jesus has covered our sins. We will have nothing to atone for because Jesus's life and death defeated the power of sin over our lives.
