Well, the point of the gospel, at least from my understanding, is that Jesus died for our sins because the Jews of the time had him nailed him to a cross. God designed it, but that doesn’t mean humans were not at fault. Jesus’s unjustified death atones for our unjustified sins against God. Can you imagine that kind of love? Love that would bring a God down to his own corrupt and disobedient creation and DIE for it. Calvary was designed by God because He loves us too much to see us suffer in our sin and revel ignorantly in our own filth. But, yes, it was people driving the nails into His hands and feet. Therefore, we are still at fault. The beauty of it is that He forgives us in the same act that we condemned Him.
