The reason that Jesus died for our sins is this: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). Jesus was fully God and fully man, and thus could be our Mediator. He died once for all.

Yes, but the other anon was asking of the mechanism. How is it that Christ’s death saves us from our sin. All we can say is that it is a mystery, other than of course that it is through the grace of the Holy Spirit.
