What does 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' tell us about God's view of sin?

Answered in 1 source

This cry illustrates God's deep abhorrence of sin manifested as separation from Jesus while He bore our sins.

Jesus' question reflects God's holy response to sin, which cannot be overlooked. In bearing our sins, Jesus is made a curse as stated in Galatians 3:13, resulting in the Father withdrawing His presence. God’s wrath towards sin is profound, exemplified in this moment when sin was placed upon the sinless One. Through this, we see not only the reality of Jesus' suffering but also how serious God is about sin. For believers, it emphasizes the grace we receive as a result of Christ's sacrifice that reconciles us to God.
