That it is a gift and not by works should anyone boast.
The wages of sin is death but God gift is eternal life through faith in Christ.
Yeah, you have to accept Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, though. Jesus said that those who deny Him, He will deny before the Father and the Angels.

The six hours on the Cross, making Atonement for our sins. THEN, with the Victor's shout of Triumph He proclaimed "It Is Finished!". The Work of Atonement was finished, completed. Check the Book of Hebrews, there is no more sacrifice for sin.
Having completed the work of atonement, then He bowed His head and dismissed His spirit.
Anything lacking for us to have everlasting life?
We have to accept His offer, the gift of Eternal Life.
If you refuse to accept a gift, it does not become yours.

It's all Christian propaganda. I don't think that there is any truth to this Crucifixion myth. There was a noble man named Jesus who made some outrageous statement. He was cautioned but he continued so he was punished for it. Later some very ingenious people came up with the idea of spreading his words for the betterment of the mankind and some claimed to have worked with Jesus gave some noble truths based upon their memory. The compilation of all memoirs is called Bible. After so many revisions the book has become user friendly so much so that it's a textbook taught in every church in the world. It's a best marketed book in the world and if you question anything there will be a ton of people out there to shut you up my friend.

Yes, I don't think you understand what suffering he went through. Also Jesus was the son of God and was sinless. At any time he could have said, "Enough" But he who was sinless bore our sins and took our punishment, so that by repenting and putting your faith in Jesus Christ, you may have eternal life.

First you have to understand what the word "redemption" means in the scriptural sense. It means to buy back, to purchase from a slave a market. We sold ourselves into sin, Christ came to set the captive free. In his death, burial and resurrection he did everything to bring that to pass. When he did that and we accept us it did not mean that we left to ourselves afterwards but we were bought, to be Christ's slaves, bondslaves, doulos of the LORD. This is what we are when we accept his atonement which also means "at one meant". He became sin for us who knew no sin, that we might became the righteousness of God". This is a relational service, and as such God calls us to serve Him, out of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. AKA the Fruit of the Spirit of God!

It all depends on where Jesus decides our everlasting life will be spent.
Jesus didn't die to give us unlimited license to sin.
Salvation is the unmerited, free gift of God, but our eternal reward is based on the choices we make in life, and on our own personal merit.
Those who fail to love God and love their neighbor in God's name, will most certainly have some issues to resolve with Christ, redeemed or not, while others who may not have known him as well, might escape judgment entirely.

answer: it truly isn't any longer and G-d abhors human sacrifice. no feasible take on the sins of yet another and blood isn't required for forgiveness. In Leviticus 5:11-13, it states, "If, in spite of the undeniable fact that, he can't discover the money for 2 doves or 2 youthful pigeons, he's to convey as an providing for his sin a 10th of an ephah of fantastic flour for a sin providing." feasible also see that one does no longer want a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins contained in the e book of Jonah 3:10. There, the Bible merely states that God pronounced the works of the human beings of Ninevah. in Deuteronomy 24:16, God merely states this as a effortless idea, "each and every guy will be positioned to lack of lifestyles for his personal sins." this idea is repeated contained in the Prophets, in Ezekiel 18 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die... the righteousness of the righteous will be upon him, and the wickedness of the depraved will be upon him." Deuteronomy 12:30-31, God calls Human sacrifice some thing that He hates, and an abomination to Him, "for each abomination to the eternal, which he hateth, have they carried out unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt contained in the fireplace to their gods. In Jeremiah 19:4-6, God tells us that Human sacrifice is so terrible a idea to Him, that it did not even come into His ideas to call for it from His creation, "they have equipped also the severe places of Baal, to burn their sons with fireplace for burnt options unto Baal, which I commanded no longer, nor spake it, neither got here it into my ideas." We see the same element in Psalm 106:37-38, and in Ezekiel 16:20. Hosea 11:9 God let us know, "For i'm God and not in any respect a guy."

God, who cannot abide sin, could not allows us into his presence while we were still covered with sin. Jesus loved us enough to suffer and die on the cross for our sins, when he had done nothing to deserve the punishment himself. That kind of love and sacrifice will cleanse our sins if we are brave enough to repent, ask forgiveness, turn from our sins and follow Him.

This sounds to me like a play about the nasty gods & hapless humans that the Greeks might write. There is this god whose son gives himself as a sacrifice in order to save the mortals from the wrath of his father. Well, at least the Greeks didn't call him a "loving" god.

Yes. He is the only one who could pay sufficiently. He was fully human, fully God - enabling Him to not only die a human death, but an infinite death (as infinite God) in payment for infinite sins.

No we must cooperate with the sacrifice of Christ by avoiding sin and by living according to His Holy Spirit.
