A sacrifice is an offering or an act of appeasement given to a deity in an effort to procure favor and avoid impending disaster. Christ is our righteous sacrifice. He lived a sinless life.
The heart, the core, the kernel, of the everlasting gospel is that the Creator died for the creature, the potter for the clay, the judge for the criminal, the innocent for the guilty.
Ellen G. White wrote "painful process, mysterious to angels as well as to men"
---SDA Bible Commentary Vol.7, p. 915
We believe it, but we cannot truly comprehend it. We behold it, but we cannot adequately explain it.
Christ took our place. He paid our debt on Calvary.
Behold the Lamb of God. He died to save us from our sins.
John 3:16
Romans 10:9

Yes, I do know that, and let me add.
you all know how yakky full gospel shirely is and when God says to speak I do. amen
BUt, God commands us to obey Him too, and our lives are to be a sacrifice to Him in full obeidence. Most today believe they just have to believe. NO even the devil believed. We must love Him, and God says IF YOU LOVE ME< OBEY ME. God is calling us back to purity, holiness and righteousness. GOod works dont save us, but we will do all God says and count it all as JOy because He loves us and we love Him. Salvation is by grace, thru the shed blood of Jesus only. But, holding on to that gift of salvation that is free requires the obedience to God, Just as Jesus obeyed the Father unto death. Obedience leads to blessing still.. THat hasnt changed folks. Another great question from you. Press on.. with Jesus, press on and you will be blessed.

Substitution is the most nonsensical method of judgement. If someone killed my family, I wouldn't accept the judge going to prison and the murderer going free as justice. Someone else doing the punishment for a crime does NOT mean justice has been done.
Too much of Christianity relies on "no we can't understand or explain it, but God knows". That's a cop out.

I would hate for him to have sacrifice for no reason, so I will try to maximize my sinning.
