The physical death of Jesus on the cross is what brings us eternal salvation, forgiveness of all of our sins, and full entrance into heaven when we die and cross over.

1. "For the life of the flesh is in the blood ,  for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul." (Leviticus 17:11)

6. "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (Matthew 26:28)


7. ", ,  and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity." (Ephesians 2:14)


8. "But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins ,  By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Hebrews 10:3,10)

17. , ",  He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself ,  so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many." (Hebrews 9:26,28)


After reading all of these specific verses, I do not think there is any other possible interpretation other than the physical death of Jesus on the cross is what gives us full forgiveness and remission of all our sins, eternal salvation with God the Father, and full entrance into heaven when we die and cross over.

Notice the specific words in some of these verses:

That Jesus "died for our sins."
That we are redeemed "through His blood."
That we have been reconciled back to God "through the blood of His cross."
That our sins have been put away by the "sacrifice of Himself."

Any liberal who tries to interpret these verses any other way is really treading on extremely dangerous ground with God the Father. After watching the horrible death of His Son on that cross, and going to the extreme lengths to which He went to send and sacrifice His one and only Son in order to deliver and save all of us from eternal damnation - I do not think there is any slack with God the Father on this issue if any liberal tries to take away what the real meaning of the crucifixion is all about!
