Yeah, he died for our sins. He died so we wouldn't have to go to hell for our sins.
"Our redeemer is the Holy One of Israel."
Only God can save us, and Jesus is God.

How would you like to live day by day knowing that you're in sin and that there's no way out? If Jesus had not have died for our sins, then that's how we would be living right now. He died to save us from our sins. A sinful person cannot save another sinful person from sin. Only perfection could save us--Jesus.

That has to be the worst logic I have ever heard. Ok, I'm sorry, I don't want to be mean, but the logic is flawed.
Here's how it should read:
All mankind/people are sinners. Jesus dies for the sins of all mankind. Therefore, all mankind can be redeemed through Jesus.
Of course I say "can", because we have to accept/believe in Jesus and follow his words. Good luck.

The remedy of Jesus' sacrifice is still to be fully applied. At the moment, a search work is being carried out to find people who want to benefit from it. In the mean time, we can still benefit to a "smaller" degree by daily asking God for forgiveness for our sins in the name of Jesus. This means that every sin we have committed before this request can be forgiven and forgotten by God who has perfect control over His faculties and can do this. Of course, we are still prone to sinning, and will remain so until the full benefit of the sacrifice

No, This is not factual. Jesus died to save us from the punishment due because of our sins. We have offended a holy God and Jesus was punnished as a result of a sinful creation who turned their back on Him.
God can not turn a blind eye at sin. It must be punnished;.
Jesus died for you. You must realise you have offended God and repent and believe the Gospel.

Jesus died for us sinners. Yes, he suffered and was tortured so we can do naughty things. This is a wonderful thing we can sin all we want then feel bad and confess our sin's to God and know we will be OK

.He died for us because he loved us. He also rose from the dead. We still sin because he gave us freewill. Jesus said that he is the way, the truth and the life. He died that we might be free from evil and the devil. To do this we have to try and follow what he preached. His resurrection is a precursor for what will be for us. We enter a new life when we are baptised.

Let me make a little corection for you WE ARE ALL SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE! Jesus died for our sins but because we live in our flesh we continue to sin therefore we must repent and ask for His forgivness. Have you even read the bible??? I think you need to read the bible a little more slowly and pray for an understanding

Jesus dying didn't mean we'd stop sinning. He died as a sacrifice so that we would have a relationship with God. That's what is meant by "Jesus died for our sins." We just have to accept Jesus's sacrifice so that we can have that relationship.

The Bible tells us without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sins. The blood shed by Christ is sufficient to cleanse all who believe in Him as there Lord and Saviour. When we do that we are told we shall inherit eternal life, is that nothing?
God said He is willing that none should perish, but He knows all will not come simply because we all have the freedom of choice and many will choose not to believe.

We are all born into sin through Adam. Yet Christ came to fulfill the Law which condemned us to Hell so that when we confess our sin to Him and accept His free gift of redemption then through His shedding of blood on the Cross we are absolved of our sin.
Now this doesn't mean we somehow magically will never sin again for we remain in a fallen world daily exposed to all manner of evil influence. And no man other than Christ Himself has ever been empowered to consistently resist.
Yet through Christs Sacrifice we have an endless source of Grace to return to when we fall and be washed again.
This, in no way provides us a license to sin. On the contrary, when one comes to the true realization of what Christ did, their Heart is conditioned by Conviction to rapid repentance.
When you truly experience such Love, believe me, you don't even have to try to respond favorably to that.
