One question for Christians

[SavedByGraceThruFaith]

Just one.

That's all.

Why does blood sacrifice make anything better?



Just to clarify the question, Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. How's that work exactly? What's the cause and effect between a godman bleeding on a cross and my being forgiven by the same god for the sins I've committed? Why does the blood he shed somehow atone for my sins?

Frankly the disconnect between my sins and Jesus need to bleed on a cross to set it right seems a bit like Monte Python's Mattress Sketch, where if someone says "mattress" to Mr. Lambert, he puts a bag over his head and then men have to make it better by getting into a box and sing.

God is holy and must punish sin.

The Bible says that:
"the wages of sin is death" (Romans 3:23)

After death, comes judgment before God.

The sacrifice of blood represents that death penalty.

So the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is to pay for our sins, so those that trust Him as Saviour have all their sins, paid for and forgiven.

Jesus is a substitue to take our place. He pays fro our sins and gives everlasting life to those that believe.
