What does the Bible say about Jesus being made sin for us?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that Christ was made sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it is stated that 'He hath made Him sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.' This profound declaration signifies that God the Father treated Jesus, His beloved Son, as if He were the embodiment of sin itself. This transaction was necessary for our reconciliation to God, as we cannot be made righteous without Christ first being made sin. The implications of this doctrine are foundational to the gospel, emphasizing that Christ took upon Himself the full weight of our sins so that we could be justified before God.
