What does the Bible say about substitution in reconciliation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ was made sin for us, allowing us to be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Substitution is a central theme in the doctrine of reconciliation as described in the Bible. Specifically, 2 Corinthians 5:21 highlights that God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This divine exchange is foundational to the gospel, demonstrating that Christ took upon Himself the sins of His people, absorbing the wrath of God intended for them, and in return, provides them with His righteousness. Therefore, substitution is not just a transaction; it is the very means by which sinners are reconciled to a holy God.
