How do we know Christ made sin for us?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture declares that God made Christ sin for us, who knew no sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

The profound statement that 'He hath made Him sin for us who knew no sin' (2 Corinthians 5:21) underscores the depth of Christ’s sacrifice. It illustrates the theological concept of substitutionary atonement where Christ takes upon Himself the sins of His people. This is essential to understanding the nature of sin and righteousness in Christian theology. God’s justice must be satisfied, and Christ’s obedience and sacrifice fulfill this requirement. This is evident across the Scriptures where the Old Testament sacrificial system foreshadows Christ’s ultimate work. By being made sin, Christ bore the full weight of divine judgment on behalf of believers, securing their righteousness through His obedience.
