In the old testament people sacrificed their possessions like a cow or sheep or what ever animal for their forgiveness to show the lord they were sorry for their sins. Jesus was the human sacrifice and he died for our sins and by him doing that we can pray to the lord still today to ask for forgiveness through his son and the Lord have mercy on us because of the life Jesus lived he know we can be forgiven if we repent and pray for the sins we made and live life as true Christians.
We are the people and Jesus shed his blood for all of us!

Before Jesus got here within the flesh, we're advised that sinners who repented WERE stored by means of religion within the replacement slayed animal sacrifices mentioned by means of God. And like the ones of at present, they needed to quit sinning (that is what repenting method). The specific atonement, nevertheless, took situation with excellent timing while Jesus grew to be the excellent sacrifice those animals prefigured. So earlier than Jesus got here, the men and women seemed FORWARD to the move whilst the ones after, seem BACK to the atonement at the move. Therefore, in some way, you are correct: it's the equal for many who repent in their sins. For folks that do not, there's no sacrifice or heaven. It quite do not need mattered while God might have selected to ship Jesus to earth however being gracious as He is, He gave mankind the entire prophecies had to support guy admire the real Messiah and end up, as soon as once more, that God continues His guarantees involving salvation and judgments. He could not have made those any clearer.

Only a few days prior to his crucifiction___ Jesus was desetting the shops and trade points__ installed in the God’s Temple__ by the leave (sponsorship) of his Lord. The on looking crowd was fearing from him while he was, fearlessly, lashing every shop keeper and the trader. He was commanding them to free the God’s Temple from their shops and trade. Now, on the cross he is the same Jesus but without leave (sponsorship) of the Lord, crying for help, saying:-
“Eli Eli Lema Sabachthani!”
He has lost his miracles and miraculous power__ and is rendered__ into a commonplace person. Who is complaining before the Lord in the most pathetic terms. He is saying that his miracles have gone__ his power has gone__ strength has gone__ and he is now like a small quantity of water__ spilt on the ground__ which is drying away moment by moment. So he is saying to his Lord: “Have mercy on me!” “Have mercy on me!”__ Don’t leave me here__ for dead in the dust.
While praying to his Lord__ Jesus is very much conscious of the fact__ that he has lost his miracles___ his power___ his strength and everything. So he is rightly praying before his Lord. He is not praying here__ before himself or his godly-self__ as he, himself, can not__ accede to any prayer. It is the Lord and the Almighty God alone___ Who accedes to the prayers. The prayer of Jesus is, therefore, positively telling that Jesus is not any Saviour at all. He is simply a man and Prophet__ who himself, is praying before the Lord for help and Salvation.
Beware please, it is an old and well known law of the Lord that___ the Lord reveals the truth__ in open and decisive terms. Looking upon the miracles of Jesus__ the people were considering Jesus as the greatest magician. While hypocrites were calling him, even, the Lord and Saviour. Although Jesus did criticize such thoughts and notions but the notions remained in rapid progress. So, it became eventually essential that___ the actual status of Jesus should be demonstrated__ before all__ in the most open & visible terms. So, the Lord withdrew the miracles and the miraculous power of Jesus and rendered him into an ordinary man. The actual status of Jesus was, as such, demonstrated on the cross before everyone openly.
Whereafter, Jesus was no more a supernatural creature or the Lord and the Saviour. Instead, he was simply a common man. Who was not independent in any respect. He was rather totally dependant upon the Lord, in all respects.
The prayer of Jesus on the cross (the Psalm-22) also, signifies that___ in presence of sponsorship from the Lord__ an ordinary man may become so glorified and sublime that__ he is entitled as “Spirit of God” and “Word of God”. But when the sponsorship is withdrawn by the Lord__ then the man deteriorates__ even from his common status of a man___ and becomes worthless___ like a despised worm.
The trial of Jesus on the cross__ might have been withheld by the Lord___ but the two particular things necessitated it’s happening in essential terms:-
•The miraculous birth of Jesus was a sign of the Lord’s unique creativity. Whereby the people had to strengthen their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Almightiness but they failed to do so. Instead, they lost their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Al-mightiness and began to say Jesus as son-god and the Lord.
•Right from the beginning, it is an objective Law of the Lord that__ whenever Monotheism is diminished or overlapped by Polytheism___ the Lord cuts away the overlapped coverings of Polytheism and unveils Monotheism__ in the most obvious terms.
So the Lord did the same on the turn of Jesus. The Lord, rightly put Jesus under the trial of suffering and made the people understand that Jesus was not God or the Lord or the son-god. Nor he was a Saviour, instead, he was a man and Messenger of the Lord. Who, practically preached the Message of Monotheism, even on the cross.

Because he was blameless in the eyes of God. Before Jesus became the "ultimate" sacrifice the Old Testament ritual was to sacrifice animals to atone for sins. Since Jesus was unblemished, only His death could wash away the sins of the human nature.

Well, he didn't really die did he?
But "Jesus had a bad weekend for your sins" didn't play well with the marketing department.

It is all part of God's plan; Jesus is the Saviour of the world, providing the people in it will accept Him into their hearts. I am greatful to Jesus for taking my place on that cross because that is where I deserved to be.

Jesus died for us first off because He loves us. Because He loves us He wants to spend eternity with us. But in our present condition (the sin within us) we are separated from Him. And the only way to get reconciled to Him is through His offering.

Jesus said he woud give his life as a ransom for "many" not all. Jesus never died for my sins, A saint from india Baptized me with spirit. He had paid "A" price of "death" to the Sense of separate self and had the power to baptize with spirit and with fire. Jesus's life was a living example of a spiritual pathway,he was sent as the mesaiah GURU, Of the jewish people,but he had the power to baptize any one with spirit and with fire.

There are many attributes of God. God is Love. God is merciful. God is kind. God is Just. God is Grace. God is Longsuffering. God is Patient.
So, God cannot tolerate sin. Sin is what separates man from God. The penalty for Sin is Death. God, because he is Just, cannot just turn His head and pretend that sin didn't occur. That would go against His very nature of being Just. So, someone had to pay the penalty for sin, which is death. He chose His Son, who was the perfect sacrifice, without sin, to pay the price for you and me.
You and I can forgive someone for doing us wrong, because we are not purely Just. God, because of His Justice, demands payment. But, because of God's grace, He made the payment for you and I.
So, we either accept this gift or we reject it. A God of love, mercy, grace, and justice would let His only son take our place and pay the penalty for sin on our behalf.

Jesus permitted Satan and the forces of evil to unjustly put him to death in order to destroy Satan's dominion over mankind, so sins could be forgiven.
