Jesus was sinless, but He came under the curse of God when He hung from the wooden cross to bear our sins.
Begin Quotes from the Bible (NIV)
Moses wrote in Deuteronomy 21:23b
because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God's curse. You must not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Paul wrote in Galatians 3:10-14
“All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written:
"Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."
Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because,
"The righteous will live by faith."
The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them."
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by FAITH we might receive the promise of the SPIRIT.”
End Quote.
