There is no such thing as substitutionary atonement, it is simply atonement.
Death (eternal separation from God) is the penalty for sin.
God cannot simply change his law and be a just God.
The anology of substituting ones sick grandfather fails because that sacrifice doesn't change the heart of the one who committed the crime.
The blood of Christ completely changes a person's nature so that they are no longer the same person that committed the sin, they have the same nature / spirit of Christ (the term 'Christian' means "to be like Christ ") which is blameless.
Therefore when one receives the holy spirit, they cannot even be accused of sin, let alone be judged for it.
Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? - John 8:46
This is nothing new.
In the time of Moses during the Passover, it was required for one to have the blood of a lamb displayed on third door in order for the angel of death to "pass over" their door.
That was just a foreshadowing of what was to come.
