How was Christ made a curse for us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ was made a curse for us by bearing our sins and the curse of the law due to our transgressions.

The process of Christ being made a curse for us involves His assuming the sins of His people and taking on the punishment they deserve. Galatians 3:13 emphasizes that He was 'made a curse for us' not because of any sin within Himself but solely out of love and willingness to represent us before God's law. In 1 Peter 2:24, we read that 'He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.' This act of substitution means that Christ experienced God's wrath towards sin on behalf of those He came to save. It was a voluntary act rooted in His love for His people, bearing the weight of our sin and its consequence—an act that allows us to be free from the curse of the law.
