"It is thrilling to trace through the New Testament and find the word “made,”
and to observe how our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Creator of all, humbled
Himself, died on Calvary’s cross and arose again from the dead to save, justify
and glorify sinners.

St. Paul says of Christ: “All things were created by Him and for Him” (Col. 1:16),
and St. John adds by inspiration: “All things were made by Him; and without
Him was not anything made that was made…The world was made by Him”
(John 1:3,10).

How wonderful it is, then, that He, the Creator of all, came to be one with us
— yes, one of us! John tells us again that the Maker of all was “made flesh”
(John 1:14) and Paul declares that “when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law…” (Gal. 4:4),
that He “made Himself of no reputation …and was made in the likeness of
men” (Phil. 2:6,7).

In his letter to the Hebrews he adds that Christ was “made [for] a little [while]
lower than the angels for the suffering of death” (Heb. 2:9). More than that, he
declares that our Lord was “made a curse for us” (Gal. 3:13) to redeem us from
the curse of the law, and that God “made Him to be sin for us…” (II Cor. 5:21).

Thus in one stroke, at Calvary, our Lord, the great Creator, bore the penalty
for sin that would have sunk a world to hell, and for this “God also hath highly
exalted Him” (Phil. 2:9), having “raised Him from the dead and set Him at His
Own Right Hand in the heavenly places, far above all…” (Eph. 1:20,21). “God
hath made that same Jesus… both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36) so that now
He has been “made higher than the heavens” (Heb. 7:26).

As a result the simplest believer in This Mighty Savior is “made… accepted in
the Beloved One” (Eph. 1:6) and “made [to] sit… in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus” (Eph. 2:6). He is “made the righteousness of God in Him” (II Cor. 5:21),
“that being justified by His Grace, we should be made heirs according to
the hope of eternal life” (Tit. 3:7)."


Amen.

I prefer----

God had Christ, who was sinless, take our sin so that we might receive God’s approval through him.

Sounds more like Peters words

“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:21-25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If that were all to this, then the Bible would not say what it actually says -- that Christ was MADE SIN for us...(2 Cor 5:21).
Greek: τὸν γὰρ μὴ γνόντα ἁμαρτίαν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησεν ἵνα ἡμεῖς γενώμεθα δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ
Literal Interlinear: The [One] because, not having known sin. for us sin He made, so that we might become [the] righteousness of God in Him.
Idiomatic Translation (KJB): 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.

What this means is that not only did God place all our sins on Christ, but He was literally made the embodiment of sin for us. This harks back to the Brazen Serpent (which represented sin but also represented deliverance from the penalty for sins).

This thread title is unfortunately a great example of the need for careful grammar when it comes to theological statements.

As it stands, "The Maker Of All Made Sin For Us" can be interpreted two ways. The first assumes that the grammar is correct:

"The Maker of all made sin as a distinct creation on behalf of His followers."

Obviously, this violates sound biblical truth, so we must conclude that the title is grammatically incorrect, and should be written as:

"The Maker of all WAS made sin for us."
