This is Why our salvation is a free gift because of His Grace.
Eph. 2:4-9.
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins,hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
One of my favorite verse about Jesus and why the Glory of the Cross

Here are Some thoughts that help us to understand how horrific Jesus beaten for our transgression was. The body was stretched. And in some cases, stretched on a flat table with the arms extended and then locked in that position and the legs extended so the back is taut and the lashing occurred that way. Other times, tied to a post with suspended feet so that the back was stretched. Other times hung from the ceiling with suspended feet. And then the blows were given. The flesh was torn and lacerated all the way down to the bone itself. And the record tells us that deep veins and arteries and sometimes entrails and organs were exposed and sometimes death occurred, the muscles were shredded as well as the skin. And after the scourging and before the crucifixion.
Christ's blood, if we both repent and believe, justifies us (cancels our guilt) by washing away our filthy sins
