literally what god could have said - "i forgive you and all of you for you do not no what you do. you are still children and have much to learn and i will be there to guide you."
It's about love and justice. God is just as well as loving. The sacrifices in the old testament were symbolic. They pointed to the necessary sacrifice that Jesus would make for us all. If we're "in Christ", we're no longer guilty. Justice has been done.

Because we we were incapable of doing what Jesus needed to accomplish--leading a sinless life and then taking on the sins of all people. Only Jesus could accomplish that.
