How do we know Jesus was made sin for us?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible explicitly states that God made Christ to be sin for us, indicating His role as a substitute for our sins.

2 Corinthians 5:21 clearly says, 'For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' This declaration affirms that Jesus was appointed by God to be sin, representing the totality of our sinful nature while remaining pure and without sin Himself. The term 'made' in this context signifies that God's intention was to put our sins upon Christ, the perfect Lamb of God, so that through His sacrifice, we might attain righteousness. This divine exchange underscores Christ’s role not as a sinner but as our sin-bearer, securing our reconciliation with God.
