Jesus Atoned for Sin

Because God is bound by his judicial nature, He cannot exercise grace apart from justice being satisfied. And as such he can't simply forgive sin apart from justice being recompensed for the sins committed. However God, in his wisdom, orchestrated a scenario whereby justice would demand his Son be compensated for having suffered unjustly. The LORD used his compensation as ransom to pay for the sins of the world, thus satisfying the demands of justice and allowing for God's grace to be exercised in the forgiveness of sins.

"God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice" Rom 3:25a

"Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" 1Cor 15:1-4

He "gave himself as a ransom for all men" 1Tim 2:6a

"the church of God He purchased with His own blood." Acts 20:28b

And to the Corinthian Christians Paul writes, "For you were bought at a price" 1Cor 6:20a

"Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1Peter 3:18a
