What does the phrase "Jesus died for our sins" mean to you?
We are to "go forth and sin no more" (we are not absolved of following the laws laid down) but the debt has been paid.
There ARE those who celebrate their sins and even those within the "church" who attempt to deny that some activities (homosexual relations and abortion among them) are even sins at all.
"What does the phrase "Jesus died for our sins" mean to you?"
He died as the passover lamb (without blemish) to absolve me of my sins once and for all and I am saved by His grace (a gift ny God,unmerited favor)but that grace is also not cheap and not to be taken lightly. We are justified by faith in Christ and then certified by our works because faith without works is dead.
Those who celebrate their sins are in darkness as Romans 1 says:
20 Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct. 29 They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who practice them.
And those practices bring about God's old testament type fury because it cheapens Christ's suffering and death on the cross. I believe it is highly insulting to God evident this by Paul's letter to the Romans. There are numerous examples of this in the new testament. The attitudes that God has towards sin is the same throughout the entire Bible and is consistent.
