For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9:15
When Jesus died on the cross, He cried out, "It is finished". The plan of redemption was finally finished. In the old covenant, they sacrificed the lamb and the blood each year for the sins of the people. When Christ gave His life on the cross as the perfect lamb of God, there would be no more sacrifices. The debt had finally been paid. Almost like buying something with a credit card. You get the benefits, and the bill comes later. Only this sin debt bill was paid for us by Jesus Christ.They got the benefits and He paid the bill later for us all.
