Spirit and Truth Theology: How Can Jesus Be God if God Cannot Die? A common objection from non‑trinitarians is: “If God cannot die and Jesus died, how can He be God?” Scripture is clear that God is immortal (Isaiah 40:28; 1 Tim. 6:16). The misunderstanding comes from not grasping the incarnation. Jesus is one Person with two natures—fully divine and fully human. His divine nature cannot die, but His human nature truly did. The death of Jesus was the death of His humanity, not the extinction of His deity. Scripture also shows that God promised not only to send the Messiah, but to be the Messiah. In Zechariah 12:10, Yahweh says, “They will look on me whom they pierced,” then shifts to “him,” revealing that the pierced One is both God and the coming Messiah. John 19:35–37 applies this directly to Jesus. Joel 2:32 declares that all who call on Yahweh will be saved. Paul applies this to Jesus in Romans 10:11–13, identifying Christ as the Lord who saves. Acts 20:28 even says God purchased the church with His own blood—something only possible because God the Son took on a human body. The conclusion is clear: God cannot die, but in the incarnation, the Son assumed a human nature capable of death. His divine nature remained immortal, even as His human nature experienced death. In this way, God Himself came as the Messiah and accomplished salvation through Jesus Christ. In this season of Passover and Passion Week, remember that God Himself stepped into our world to show His love. #JesusIsGod #Jesus #Devotional #TheologyTalk #God #Christianity
