The purpose in Christ coming was foretold by the holy prophets. And as it was foretold "A bone of Him shall not be broken", Exodus 12:46 and Numbers 9:12. Christ was the final perfect required 'blood' sacrifice of all time.. The Passover lamb. The crucifixion was not required for Christ to gain, He in the flesh was God with us.. But, the devil and a numbered of his fallen angels have already been judged to death. God created these entities in love, but they rebelled and attempted to replace God and drew from God large numbers of soul/spirit intellects... The devil and those fallen angels will never partake of flesh, they are already judged to death. It is/was a fulfillment of prophecy - similar to a kinsman redeemer .. legal binding contract.
There are still some sins, like premeditate homicide and rape that require a 'face to face' with the Creator to be forgiven... The ONLY thing that changed, fulfilled, was no longer a blood sacrifice required for remission of sin. We can go directly to the Father, in Christ name with a repentant heart/mind to seek forgiveness.
Too many Christians think those Ten Commandments do not apply to them. Well, no Christian worth his/her salt would call themselves Christian if they break any of the Ten. That is what is meant to believe in Christ, by keeping His Commandments.

I suspect you are correct about premeditated murder is likely close to the sin of denial of The Holy Ghost but not quite as bad.
You said that blood sacrifice is no longer needed, but, it is. I know what you mean and don't really disagree with you but the blood sacrifice has already been made.
It is the blood of Jesus that hides our sin because that sacrifice represents punishment, the punishment that we deserve and that He took for us.
As far as a bone not being broken, in the Passover meal there is a lamb for the meal. The condition of the lamb is that it must be perfect, and that in the slaughter and preparation for the meal there can be no bones broken. Yes in this we see that it has been foretold and then we are reminded each year at Passover. We are reminded that by partaking of the sacrificial lamb that we are passed over by the angel of death, now if we partake of The Lamb we can again be passed over by the angel of death. Many people have strange ideas of what it means to partake of The Lamb. I personally believe that it is much more than just admitting that He is. It is following Him, trying to be like Him, obeying His commandments and much more. Those who think that the Ten Commandments no longer apply are fooling themselves, who do they think gave them? When were they repealed? I am no judge, but, I imagine that if you are breaking the ten commandments and not begging forgiveness for doing so then you likely have no part of Him. he will not know you no matter how many times you have called our His name. Confession of the name of Jesus is no magic trick, either you follow Him or you don't.
As Christians we focus on Easter, rightly so because the most important event in the history of mankind is the Resurrection of The Savior Jesus The Christ. It is also important for us to remember the events of Passover so that we can be reminded of how this was all foretold for millennia, that it is all part of a glorious plan.
