What does it mean that Christ died as a man?

Answered in 1 source

Christ died as a man to fulfill the role of a mediator between God and men, qualifying Him to redeem human beings.

The significance of Christ dying as a man is related to His role as the mediator between God and humanity. As stated in 1 Timothy 2:5, it was necessary for the Redeemer to be fully human to relate to human suffering and sin. Only a perfect man could fulfill the law's requirements and take on the penalty of sin, which is death. This dual nature of Christ as both fully God and fully man enabled Him to provide a complete and effective redemption, thus underscoring the necessity of His incarnation and death.
