2 Corinthians 5:21 and Selected Scriptures
Christ had no sin.
- What the Bible tells us. (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 2:22; 1 John 3:5; Hebrews 4:15)
- Why is this important? (Exodus 12:1-10; Leviticus 17:1; 1 Corinthians 5:7; 1 Peter 1:19)
Christ became sin for us, we who are sinners.
- All of us, every one of us is a sinner. (Romans 3:23; 5:12, 18; 7:14; Ephesians 2:3, 12; Isaiah 53:6)
- God made Christ “to be sin on our behalf.” (2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; Hebrews 12:2; Isaiah 53:12)
We become the righteousness of God in Him.
- What is righteousness? (Deuteronomy 32:14; Psalm 11:7; 19:8; Isaiah 45:19; 2 Timothy 4:8)
- Looking at ourselves. (Psalm 14:1; 53:1; Romans 3:10, 20, 23; Ephesians 2:8)
- Becoming the righteousness of God. (Romans 4:5-7; 5:19; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 5:5; Philippians 3:9; 1 John 3:2-3)
