The fact that Jesus cried out on the cross "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" doesn't mean God forsook Him, neither it means that Jesus believed He was forsaken. While reading the Bible, we must be cautious how we read it. If we just read what's written without listening to what the Holy Spirit reveals, we become the story-tellers who never live the story. But what's the truth about this saying of Jesus? To find the answer, we need to realize Jesus wasn't confessing what He was feeling, but He was quoting Psalm 22:1. He took everyone's attention to what was prophesied. It was written that He would be surrounded by all those who had become like Adam of old, seeing God as the One who forsook them, and therefore project their belief on Him as though it was true about Him too. Yet the very next verses of Psalm 22 reveal what Jesus believed while on the cross.
The centuries-old doctrine of the majority of the churches, about how God deals with mankind, must be revisited. The belief system that God was in need of someone to take our punishment so that we wouldn’t be punished must be changed. That because God is just, and He must punish the sinners but He chose to punish His Son is not what the Bible teaches. As if the justice of God is to punish mankind for what he does. That by itself is an unrighteous belief system, because if we believe thus, then in order for God to be able to justify mankind, He has to bring punishment. That's not true. For God to be able to justify mankind, He has to show that He Himself is just and righteous, this is what Romans 2 and 3 reveal. So mankind instead of running away from God, can run to God. That's the kind of God that Jesus came to show.
