How do we know Christ was made a curse for us?

The declaration in Galatians 3:13 that Christ was made a curse for us provides vital insight into the doctrine of substitutionary atonement in sovereign grace theology. This passage reveals that Christ voluntarily took on the curse of the law, which is the penalty for sin, to free us from it. The legal exchange, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:21, illustrates how Christ bore our sins so that we might receive His righteousness. This underscores not only His role as our redeemer but also the depth of God's justice being satisfied through Christ’s suffering.
