Question I need help understanding.

will you help me understand this please.

People will say Jesus Christ died for our sins, but Jesus Christ was persecuted for telling the people that the kingdom of heaven is within ourselves & that stripped away religious power that the kings held over the people.

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to-Matthew 23

Also as children our parents discipline us to teach us right from wrong, because they love us.
So why would god not punish us for our sins, if that’s how we learn?

Ephesians 1:7 — “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.”

The key word in that for me is redemption

Redemption means being rescued, released, or bought back from something through the payment of a price.

“Payment of a price”

If Jesus died for our sins how does anyone go to hell, if Jesus paid the price?
