In the Greek, the word for "death" (θάνατος, thanatos) signifies a complete and final separation from life. Historically, crucifixion was a method of execution reserved for the most heinous criminals, yet Christ's death was not for His own sins but for the sins of humanity.

Teaching Points Understanding Christ's SacrificeJesus' death was a one-time, all-sufficient act that broke the power of sin. Believers are called to recognize the completeness of this sacrifice. Living to God Just as Jesus lives to God, Christians are encouraged to live their lives with a focus on God, aligning their actions and purpose with His will. Victory Over Sin Through Christ's death, believers are empowered to overcome sin in their own lives, living in the freedom that His sacrifice provides. Newness of Life Embrace the new life in Christ, characterized by a relationship with God and a commitment to His purposes. Eternal Perspective Jesus' resurrection life points to the eternal life believers have in Him, encouraging them to live with an eternal perspective.(10) But it is not possible that the life of Christ should fail. Death has lost all its power over Him. The death which He died, He died to sin. It was the last sacrifice which He made to sin, and one that freed Him from its dominion for ever. He died to it once for all, and His death did not need to be, and could not be, repeated. On the other hand, His life is assured, because it is wholly dependent upon God.Verse 10. - For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. "Died unto sin" certainly does not mean here, as some have taken it, died by reason of sin, or to atone for sin, but has the sense, elsewhere obvious in this chapter, of ἀποθνήσκειν, followed by a dative, which was explained under ver. 2. Christ was, indeed, never subject to sin, or himself infected with it, as we are; but he "bore the sins of many;" "the Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all." He submitted for us to the condition and penalty of human sin; but, when he died, he threw off its burden, and was done with it for ever (cf. Hebrews 9:28, "Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation"). The purpose of thus describing the permanent life to God of the risen Christ is, of course, to show that the new life of us who are accounted to have risen with Christ must in like manner be permanent and free from sin. "Quo docere vult hanc vitae novitatem tota vila esse Christianis persequendam, Nam si Christi imaginem in se repraesentare debent, hanc perpetuo durare necesse est. Non quod uno momento emoriatur caro in nobis, sicuti nuper diximus: sed quia retrocedere in ea mortificanda non liceat. Si enim in coenum nostrum revolvimur, Christum abnegamus; cujus nisi per vitae novitatem consortes esse non possumus, sicut ipse vitam incorruptibilem agit" (Calvin). The next verse expresses this clearly. Parallel Commentaries ... Greek [The death]ὃ (ho) Personal / Relative Pronoun - Accusative Neuter Singular Strong's 3739: Who, which, what, that.
