Crucifixion was Rome's punishment for slaves, foreigners and criminals who were not Roman Citizens. It was the most agonizing an ignominious death a cruel age could devise. Nails were driven through the hands and feet, and the victim was left hanging there in agony, starvation, insufferable thirst, and excruciating convulsions of pain. Death usually followed in 4 to 6 days. In Jesus' case it was over in 6 hours. (John 19:33-34)
Please read Isaiah 53:1-12
Who do you think Isaiah was talking about in this chapter? This was 800 or so years before Jesus was born to a virgin on this earth. How can anyone deny that this was a prophecy about The Lamb of God (Jesus) who gave his life as a sacrifice for us. This Jesus was The Lamb of God that would take the sin debt of all mankind and with the shedding of His own blood on the cross, He paid for our sins with His own blood so we could have access to the Father. If we trust and accept Jesus as our personal savior we have eternal life. 1 John 5: 11, 12,13
The Bible says in Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death (separation from God), but the gift of god is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 10:9-10 says "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be save. For with the heart man believed unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Now listen carefully, what Romans 10:13 says is "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
God cannot lie. If you call out to him for salvation, He has to save you, simply because He said He would. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "therefore if any man be in Christ, He is a new creature; old things are passed away; Behold all this are become new."
Jesus said, "All that come to me I will in no wise cast out."
