Righteousness demands that someone die for the sins committed against God. Jesus was that death for those who accept the offering made on their behalf.
It is still not clear to me why the death of anything compensates or counteracts any crimes/sins.
Wrongs/sins committed by A against B.
C is killed thus compensating for the sins/wrong committed against B.
How? I don't see the link.
