Heb.2:9 But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone. 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

The word grace is translated undeserved kindness, and/or unmerited kindness, but here we are told what? That Christ tasted death for everyone by God's grace. This is a powerful thought why?

Romans 6:5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection.

The working of sin in us is death, we have two levels of death, the first one, and the most important one is death from association with God due to sin in our members. Then we have physical death because all that sin physically died as well.

Hebrews 5:7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

Christ taste both kinds of death because of YHWH undeserved kindness towards his children. Christ was made into the “likeness” of sin for us, he felt, experience sin on all levels but did not sin. How can that be, one sins or they don't? The sins Christ experienced were not his, he was allowed to feel and experience the effects of sin in those he associated with, but they were not his sins, why?

1 Peter 2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

Christ was declared righteous by God, meaning sinless, absolved of sin he could not be convicted of sinning, but God wanted him to feel death at work in him, so he could conquer it completely for us. This is the process causing Christ suffering on earth death through sin as a victim for the sins of others. He experienced fully the process of life Adam had before sin, and the death Adam felt and experience in his members after sin enter too him. Hence, making Christ the perfecter of our faith by life in us. Christ felt the full weight of sin, while having life working in him from his Father Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 4:10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body

2 Corinthians 4:12 So then death works in us, but life in you.

Romans 6:5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

Romans 8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.

Philippians 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

This is the baptism by fire, the flesh opposing the Spirit, this is the judgment upon God's own house, not some future coming judgment. The grace of God allowing sin not to be accounted, yet, conquering death through life of his Holy Spirit setting the creation free. Each member of Christ body; now listen this is why there is only one seed, one body, one temple not many, one faith, one baptism stemming from one. There is only one person declared righteous not many, Christ, we live through his righteousness by grace of God.

Romans 4:5 But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

Romans 5:17 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

Romans 8:10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

We must fill up the complete measure for the body of Christ where ever we are at in the history of his body upon earth. We must experience death and sin working in us, the baptism by fire, the judgment of sin and death as the house of God, and the conquering of such by the Holy Spirit of God, because we belong to Christ. Though we sin, we can't in Christ. Though we fall short God undeserved kindness goes beyond the power of death into life, absolving us of sin and death. This is the seed planted in us, a righteous seed stemming from Christ life, driving us forward by the love of God because of his unmerited gift of love in our lives. The depth of God's love, whom can know it or account it? This is the love God has for us; created for his purposes as gifts for life, this is why Christ could say on earth only one is good, God the Father.

1 Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don't obey the Good News of God?

Rom. 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
