Going back to the days of the Israelites under the law, we’re talking sacrifices at the appointed feast times etc where the people would go full of guilt and sin and then being obedient to the process, their sins would be laid on the animal, and specifically at Passover on the spotless lamb, that bore the sins of the people, and the priest would offer the sacrifice to God.
Then the people would go back home forgiven until the next time.
This went on over and over and gazillions of animals died in place of the people.
Fast forward to Jesus.
He was born of a Virgin (important bc He had no sin nature from the seed of man, since the life is in the seed not the egg)
Then He lived a perfect life by keeping all the laws the people couldn’t keep no matter how hard they tried, He took on ALL the sins of the people, as the perfect sacrificial lamb, and acted as our High Priest offering it all to God!
So that’s why He said “it is finished!”
It was a one and done!
He saw all of your sin, all at once
He’s not giving you the side eye when you do something you shouldn’t, lol
BUT He didn’t stop there!
He left His Holy Spirit for us to convict us of our sin so we can walk worthy of His sacrifice
Isn’t that amazing?!
So the salvation part is when we trust in what He did for us, not what we can or can’t do, that He lived perfectly on our behalf, imparting His righteousness to us, so as we trust that He paid our penalty as we look back to the cross that bore our sins, we are His children! He justified us – just-if-I’d never sinned!
1 Corinthians 15:1-8 KJV
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

Romans 3:20-28 KJV
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
