2 Corinthians 5:21
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

It is crucial to understand this passage in the Bible because some can quickly jump to the conclusion that Jesus became a sinner in our place. Does that mean Jesus Christ is no longer Holy, and if so, how can it be so if He is the Holy and eternal God?

It is critical to understand that this passage does not say Jesus became a sinner but what the passage is trying to convey is that Jesus became the sin-bearer. God imputed our sin on Jesus Christ. God, as the judge assigned the responsibility of our sin to Christ.

What needs to be understood is that if Jesus Christ became a sinner during his crucifixion, then he would no longer be a suitable sacrifice. Not only that but the consequences of that would also mean that Christ would cease to be God, and these are dire consequences and not scriptural.
