@StBlops2cel_is_Lord It was the sinless Son of God who hung on the cross. The fact that he was perfect (being God in the flesh) allowed God the Father to accept the sacrifice Jesus made (going through a brutal and completely unjust execution) as the payment for our sins. He did it so we could be set free from the bondage of sin, and reconciled to the Father. Our part is accepting that payment as our own and turning, with the help of God's great grace, from the wrongs that kept us as slaves to sin in the first place. Think of the system of animal sacrifice that God set up in the Old Testament, to "cover" the sins of the Israelites. Now hook that up with Jesus being called "...the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" by John the Baptist. Jesus was a perfect and final sacrifice to the Father. The blood He spilled covers our sins, just like the blood of doves, goats, sheep, and bulls covered (imperfectly and incompletely) Israel's sins before that.
