Means if you accept Christ as the sacrifice, He takes your place to be punished for your sin. If you don't accept Him, you are destined for eternity in hell.

It was very gracious of Christ to have sacrificed himself for our sins. I can't speak for others, but I am a big believer in personal responsibility. So if I have sinned, and I know I have, *I* alone would like to pay the price for it and suffer its consequences. Letting others pay or be blamed for my screw ups is just...liberalism.

Man fell in the beginning of time because of pride. This is one thing you do not want to be prideful on. I admit I am a prideful man myself. This is one thing to say forget your pride on. I screw up - sin, I admit responsibility but I cannot "clean" myself to where I am acceptable to God. That is where Christ comes in. God laid out the ground rules. It is very simple.

Christ paid the price on The Cross so we don't have to pay. He did so willingly. It is a gift. It is a gift that you don't want to reject. The price of rejection is very severe. It is like accepting a gift from a family member but this gift is very priceless. You wouldn't reject a gift from a family member. The penalty of rejecting the gift is too severe. Don't be too proud to reject it.
