How did Christ take away our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Christ took away our sins by being made sin for us, bearing our guilt on the cross.

The Bible teaches in 1 John 3:5 that Christ was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him is no sin. This refers to the profound mystery of the gospel where our sins were imputed to Christ, meaning He bore our guilt and shame. He was sacrificed as the perfect, unblemished Lamb, fulfilling the requirements of justice for our sins. The beautiful truth of the gospel is that when He put away our sins through His death, He not only removed them from us but also satisfied God's justice. Therefore, those who believe in Christ are declared righteous before God, bearing no sin in His sight.
