What causes death? Sin does right? Can God sin? No God cannot sin because He is perfect and holy. Was Jesus God? Yes. Did Jesus die? Yes. So did God die? No. Jesus had two natures humanity and God. He was fully God and fully man. Jesus took on sin. That is why Jesus said “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” The Father had to turn away from Jesus became Jesus had become sin. God cannot look upon sin. Now I just said Jesus is God but, keep in mind Jesus let His deity remain passive while He was on Earth. So Jesus became sin and died for us on the Cross taking our place.
