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 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
Yeah, he can change the law, and he should. If he did exist, and was just. Because creating a place of suffering, and sending people down there by default isn't just. Judging people mostly based on whether they worship him or not, instead of their deeds in life, isn't just.
Spilling blood doesn't change anyone. Saying a prayer doesn't change you either, hence the need for regular revivals in churches.
