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

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible explicitly states that Christ was made sin for us, reflecting God's justice in punishing our sins in His Son.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it is clearly stated that God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This profound truth embodies the essence of the atonement and the nature of Jesus as our substitute. The prophetic nature of this sacrifice is foretold in the Old Testament, particularly in passages like Isaiah 53:6, where it says that the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all. This emphasizes that the weight of our sin was placed upon Christ, allowing Him to bear the punishment we rightly deserved. Such an act of divine love and justice illustrates how God can remain just while justifying the ungodly (Romans 3:26).
