Explain two ways Christians today may be influenced by the crucifixion of Jesus?

The crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth is, for all intents and purposes, the central event of the Christian faith and as such will often play a pivotal role in contemporary expressions of the faith.One way the crucifixion of Jesus may perhaps influence Christians today is as an example, or model, of love. One might suggest, even from without the Christian faith, the crucifixion of Jesus is a spectacular model of self-giving. The notion that one might sacrifice oneself in order that another might live is a deeply moving exemplar of love. The conception that Jesus, as God's son, was giving himself, so to speak, in love in this event can, and does, influence christians today to pursue a similar life of giving up of their own wants and desires in order to love and help others.Another way the crucifixion of Jesus may perhaps influence Christians today is if they are to reflect upon this event as a moment in which Jesus acts as a substitute in their place receiving a penalty or punishment they deserve for their actions or lifestyle that has, in their understanding, distanced them from God. A term for this is penal substitutionary atonement and it can influence Christians to see the great cost of their distancing themselves from the plans and purposes of a creator God coupled with the great love of Jesus to die in their place. This can inspire a life of dedication to God and a intensive pursuit of living in closeness to God aware of deeply detrimental effects of sin and/or sinfulness.
