What does the Bible say about Christ being our substitute?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes Christ as our substitute, who was made sin for us, allowing us to become the righteousness of God.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it states, 'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.' This profound truth reveals the core of the gospel: that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, was designated as sin on our behalf, so that we might be restored to a righteous relationship with God. This substitutionary sacrifice is central to true Christianity, indicating that the transfer of sin to Christ and the consequent punishment he endured allow believers to be justified before God.
