There are Christians who don’t believe that Jesus died in our place because of God’s punishment. That means they don’t believe in Penal Substitution Atonement. Penal Substitution Atonement is the belief that all people deserve the death penalty for their sins (breaking God’s law). However, Jesus died as a substitute for our punishment, atoning (or paying) for the penalty of our sins and reconciling us with God. They have some other understanding of why Jesus had to die on the cross because it sounds abusive for God to punish an innocent man for the many. They instead say the blood itself cleanses us of sin, rather than saying Jesus died because he took God’s wrath in our place. We must not distort what scripture teaches; there is no reason to reject PSA biblically. The blood was shed because his death is a substitute for ours. After all, we deserve it for our sins, and in exchange for his death, we can receive eternal life.
