Many say Christ took upon himself their sins(spots) and became a sacrifice in their stead, and such was acceptable to God. But Hebrews 9 & 10 speaks of Christ(the end of the law, thereby the end of law imputed sin) offering himself to God "without spot"(sin). And since sacrifice "for sin" is by the law and of the law, it's what God never desired nor ever took pleasure in; Not to mention it does not purge the conscience, since law is both the source of sin and the strength of sin's death sting, followed by hell.
Perhaps the issue of sacrifice for sin (which is by the law and of the law) should be raised to the level of conscience and expelled from Christ-ianity as putting spots upon spotless Christ, since Christ is "the end of the law", "our peace who hath abolished the law", thereby the author of "eternal salvation" rather than temporal salvation followed by the hell of being destroyed afterward due to having spots, wrinkles, blemishes... which is to allegory say laws.
Spots?

We are still required to make a sacrifice:
Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart.
The Atonement is a sacrifice for the sin. The broken and contrite heart purges the conscience.

The messiah didn't abolish the law. If you're in Hebrews, read this part.
"Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. Not one jot nor tittle of the law will be changed until ALL has been fulfilled."
If it weren't for the law, there would be no such thing as sin.
That would mean that believers wouldn't have to obey any of the law. Not just the "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.." law that they love to say don't exist anymore. That would be chaos, not an example of loving your neighbor as yourself.
He said he came not to destroy the law, but to bring the law to life. Meaning, if His spirit is within us, we'll want to choose to obey the law.. through love. If we all loved our neighbors as ourselves and our God with all of our heart, mind, and soul, we would be "above" the law, simply because we wouldn't be breaking it.
(Like, if you're not speeding down the road, you don't have to worry about getting a speeding ticket.)
"If you love me, keep my commandments."
"Sin is the transgression of the law."
The spots and wrinkles He took on for us weren't to destroy the law, they were to free us from the CONDEMNATION of the law. That is what we're saved from.
He told the woman caught in the act of adultry, "Neither do I condemn thee, GO AND SIN NO MORE"... He didn't tell her that now she could go out and continue to whore.

The only sacrifice for sin that could ever be acceptable to God is his perfect and divine son, Jesus.
All the old testament sacrifices were mere preparation. No animal sacrifice could save, nor could the law.
All that came before was to allow us to recognize that fact.
All that came after was to confirm that fact.
When Catholics sacrifice Jesus at Mass, every hour of every day, all over the world, they don't crucify him again. They simply present him to his father again.
In this way, Jesus himself acts as our advocate with his father, obtaining grace and mercy for the whole world.
And the world surely needs God's help!
Jesus is the once for all, eternal and perfect sacrifice of Calvary, miraculously made present again for us, through his church.
It is God's plan, and it is sufficient.

Being redeemed from the Law, still leaves your conscience to remind you of your wrong doing, your conscience is not your Spirit, in Mathew Jesus said what you sow you will also reap, in this lie time, that applies to bad things as well as good things.

Jesus is the only sacrifice for our sin. Once we accept this sacrifice and learn of him we become change and take on his character which is the work of faith.
