Did Jesus really die for our sins?

If so, how dare we make His martyrdom meaningless by not committing them any more?

Update:

Doesn't anyone out there understand the irony of effectively being martyred so that we can continue to have the right to sin?

    How does Jesus dying absolves us of sin? How does this "blood" sacrifice work? Do you realize how insane this sounds? God so loved us that he killed his son for us, which absolves us of sin, that god the "perfect all knowing being, I mean, come on!

    This is because many don't believe in or understand His full and complete atonement for our sins. All they do is believe in 'one part' of the atonement thinking this is all that is needed, but in their ignorance they are insulting God and making Him out to be a liar (1 John 5:6-11).

    He was not martyred but willingly gave His life for us as the sacrificial Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29).

    Jesus not only died for our sins, He clothed us in His righteous, so if we continue to sin, the free gift of salvation becomes cheap grace- and I can tell you it was not cheap-it cost Christ His life.

    He died because of the sin of his own people ( the lies at his trail in front of Pilot) at his crucifixion and not your sins or you would not be judged and sent to hell.

    Christ is the savor of the Jews and not Norse or Celts he came to earth to reaffirm Yahweh love for his chosen people the Jews.
