Great question. The price of sin is death of our souls. By dying on the cross and shedding his blood Jesus made the payment for the entire earth for sin. So even people who do not acknowledge or serve him he died for them too. We may do sin, but the payment of death we will not receive that is the meaning of him paying for our sin. He really came to deliver us from the sin nature we had to give us a God nature. Sin kept man away from God in his mind. When Adam sinned he hid because he saw that he was naked, and God asked him who told you you were naked. So sin causes shame and guilt and we hide from God. Which is not good because when people stay away from someone who wants to help them, they will only continue on a path of destruction. God paid for sins of everyone even those he knew would reject him. There is no other God out there who has made such a sacrifice. They only give moral codes for you to live by. But Jesus wants to live in us and use us to bless others and the earth. Check out the video

In Eastern religions there has long been the tradition (preceding Christ) of the great spiritual Master who can take on the sins of another. There is the story of one such master who was sitting around the fire with his students and deliberately stuck his hand into the fire, burning it. When the students asked him why on earth he had done that, he replied, "One of you has the karma to die in a fire ... I just took it from you".
In a like manner, one can see that Jesus dying on the cross was taking on the sins of his students too.
Of all humanity for all time? Oh, I don't know if I'd go THAT far.
You see ... way too much has been thrown out of Jesus's teachings. There was originally the inner circle, and then the outer circle for the uninitiated. In the 400-500's AD, a lot of teachings were thrown out. And then the Protestant Reformation in the 1500's threw out even more.
Christians no longer follow the original teachings of Christ.
Which is why I won't have anything to do with Christianity.

Research shows that the reason humans struggle with emotion to find equitable solutions is pinpointed the region of the brain called the insular cortex, or insula, which is also the seat of emotional reactions.
The fact that the brain has such a robust response to unfairness shows that sensing unfairness is a basic evolved capacity.
The emotional response to unfairness pushes people from extreme inequity and drives them to be fair. This observation shows our basic impulse to be fair isn't a complicated thing that we learn.
It therefore fully illustrates that all humans have morals controlled by the brain and that Christians are entirely wrong to try and claim morals as their own!!!!
But Christians found a way round it!
Government statistics show that christians are vastly over represented in prisons for sexual, violent and fraudulent crime whilst year on year government figures show atheists make up only 2% of the prison population!
The Catholic church is paying millions in compensation for the sex/pedophile crimes of their priests alone!
Christians are vastly over represented in the divorce courts!
Christians invented the concept of sin and then the idea that you could sin, ask forgiveness, get pardoned and start with a clean sheet!
So no surprise that they are so expert at it is it‽
A Christian is a man that feels repentance on Sunday for what he did on Saturday and is going to do on Monday. - Thomas Russell Ybarra

Sin is punishable by death. No one could save anyone who dies. Why? (Romans 5:12) We inherited it from Adam and Eve.
What was needed to redeem man from sin and death? One like Adam before he sinned. A PERFECT HUMAN. No one from Adam and Eve was perfect so God sent his only begotten son Jesus.( John 3:16) who paid the price by laying down his perfect human life and thus becoming a RANSOM. (Matthew 20:28)
So how does it work? Now those who sin can be forgiven and gain everlasting life. As for those who have died through Jesus sacrifice they can be brought back to life and have the hope of gaining everlasting life. (John 5:28,29)
