How do we know that Jesus was made sin for us?

Answered in 5 sources

The Scriptures state that Jesus was 'made sin for us' so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The doctrine of Christ being made sin is a profound mystery yet central to Christian faith. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it is declared that God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us. This does not imply He committed sin, but that He bore our sins as if they were His own in order to satisfy divine justice. The transfer of sin from humanity to Christ is significant because it establishes His role as the perfect substitute in atoning for our transgressions, ensuring that He could face the wrath we deserve.
