Thanks fr0do,Watson and tackattack I sure was filling lonely in here KUDOS to all three.
Now atheist or any nonbelivers why would God sacrifice Himself to Himself like fr0do said that is not logical. Your reasoning is not sound Bibically and this is the only thing we have to use about sacrifice so if you want to argue about sacrifice according to God then you need to go to the Bible. Let's say I give up a weekend to help a widow or anyone else who is in need I've then sacrificed my planned weekend for someone else who had a need, this in no way compares to what Christ did for us, I did not sacrifice my time to anyone nor to God only for one who was in need and to glorify God. The sacrifice I made was not to gain anything for if I had then where is the sacrifice. Now Christ gave His life for mankind and it was not for gain, if His sacrifice was to God then Christ would have gained by receiving His life back, the sacrifice Christ made was to glorify the Father not to appease Him. The reason Christ was raised from the dead was to give us the hope (knowledge) of eternal life, no one else could do this but Christ, He is the one who died for our sins, so in accepting His sacrifice we could know that we would have eternal life. If Christ had sacrificed Himself to God and not been raised from the dead then what kind of message would God have been sending mankind. How could we have ever thought God would restore our lives if He would not raise His Son from the grave.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
