How do we know Christ took on our sin?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ took on our sin because 2 Corinthians 5:21 explicitly states that God made Him sin for us.

The truth that Christ took on our sin is foundational in Christian doctrine and is clearly articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:21. The verse highlights the divine exchange where God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for those who believe. This 'making' was not a physical transformation but a legal standing where Christ bore the debt and demerit of sin, charged to Him as our substitute. The necessity of this act demonstrates God's love and justice, ensuring that sin was dealt with through Christ's sacrifice, allowing believers to be viewed as righteous in God's sight. Such doctrine is affirmed throughout Scripture, reinforcing the belief in Christ's role as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
