The meaning is simple. The author is simply telling us how Jesus Christ atoned for our sins by giving his life upon the cross and shedding his blood for our sakes. If you are a Christian and student of the Bible, you have surely read the following, "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son." and to quote another famous verse, "No greater love hath a man than that he lay down his life for another."
It takes a courage of the purest, most noble kind, to want to die for someone else. And, even more than that, is to want to live for someone else! The Saviour died for us and he also lived and lives for us. We show our love and gratitude to Him by following Him and keeping the commandments of His father, whom he loved as much as The Father loved him!
The Saviour bought us with his blood and is asking us to prove ourselves by good works, faith on Him, and living our religion, whatever it be.
