Can someone please explain to me how Jesus’ physical death saves us from eternal death?

Jesus physical death serves as the atonement for our sin. When we put our trust into Him His sacrificial death resurrection and future return, our sins and transgressions are forgiven, cleansed. God sees us through what Jesus did for us. We have the responsibility to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and to follow Him
1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Thanks for your response! Was there more to Jesus’ death than a physical death? He prayed three times to have this ‘cup’ removed… it seems like it was more than a physical death on the cross (not to take His death lightly) but did he experience God’s wrath?

He experienced it all for us. That we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Physical yes and so much more. He took all sin upon Himself to atone for it once and for all. There is so much depth to Jesus’ death and resurrection that there are not enough words in the human language to describe it |

We go under the water to represent our death with Him and then come out of the water to represent our new life in Him (being born again) with new hopes and new desires. Basically, God will not impute iniquity to us if we are found with faith in His Son's atonement. This is what the Old testament sacrifices were symbolic of. The true sacrificial lamb who would come and make mankind right with God, just as the animals sacrificed in the Old Testament cleared people of their debt to God. |

The Gospel is about the Kingdom of GOD, not about the sacrifice of JESUS. Notice how JESUS is preached along with the Gospel in these verses: Acts 8:12, 28:31. Reply if you want to know more about the true Gospel.
