Why is Christ's forsakenness important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's forsakenness is crucial because it illustrates the price of sin and God's justice, ensuring believers are never forsaken.

The significance of Christ’s forsakenness cannot be overstated; it represents the ultimate sacrifice made for our sins. By experiencing divine abandonment, Christ took upon Himself the penalty that we deserved, thus reconciling us to God. This act of substitution ensures that believers, who trust in Christ, will never face such forsakenness. Romans 8:31-32 affirms that if God did not spare His own Son, how will He not also graciously give us all things? Therefore, we are assured that God’s presence and love are constant for those who are in Christ, unlike what Christ experienced on the cross.
