The question is not to whom was Jesus sacrificed, but for whom.

Man was created to fulfill God’s purpose, but through the sin of the first man, sin entered humanity. Because of that, everyone born through the seed of man inherited a sinful nature, and the Bible says that the wages of sin is death.

God, being righteous and without sin, entered the world through a virgin birth. Jesus was not born through the seed of man, so He did not inherit the sinful nature of Adam. He knew no sin and committed no sin, making Him the only man who was righteous from birth.

Because He was righteous, He did not deserve death. Yet He chose to die. Why? Because the price for sin is death, and out of love, He took that punishment upon Himself so that whoever believes in Him can inherit His righteousness and receive eternal life.

In summary: you were born into sin not by your own choice, but Jesus died so that you could have the choice to receive righteousness, eternal life, and freedom from the consequence of sin, which is death.

You might ask, “Why didn’t God just erase everything completely since He is God?”

The Bible describes God as just. To be just means He does not act against His own righteousness or principles. God gave dominion of the earth to man, so the consequence of sin had to be dealt with through a man. That is why He came into the world as a man — not to bypass justice, but to fulfill it.

I hope this explains it more clearly. If there’s any part that still feels confusing, feel free to ask.
