Made him to be sin for us

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. (2 Corinthians 5:21) *1/ He who knew no sin. 2/ Made him to be sin for us. 3/ That we might be made the righteousness of God in him.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon expounds on 2 Corinthians 5:21, focusing on the theological mechanism of reconciliation between God and humanity. It highlights Christ's sinless nature as the necessary qualification to serve as a substitute, bearing the full weight of divine wrath for sinners. The preacher explains that through imputation, believers receive Christ's perfect righteousness in exchange for their own flawed deeds. This double transaction establishes peace with God, allowing sinners to stand accepted before His throne. The message urges listeners to embrace this sovereign gift of grace rather than relying on personal merit.
