What does the Bible say about God making Christ to be sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God made Christ to be sin for us so that we could become God's righteousness in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it states, 'For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.' This profound statement reflects God's amazing grace, where Christ, having never sinned, was made to bear our sins. The idea is not that Christ became a sinner, but rather that He bore the penalty of sin on behalf of His people. This mystery highlights the depth of substitutionary atonement, emphasizing that Christ took the place of sinners in order to satisfy God's justice and provide believers with His righteousness.
