What does the Bible say about being made sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ was made sin on our behalf so we could become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

According to 2 Corinthians 5:21, God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us. This profound statement reveals the heart of the substitutionary atonement: that our sins were imputed to Jesus, allowing Him to endure the full wrath of God in our place. It demonstrates the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice, as He bore the guilt and punishment for the sins of His people, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This incredible exchange is foundational to the Christian faith, emphasizing grace and the divine justice met through Christ’s atoning work on the cross.
