“For God made Christ, who never sinned,
to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through
Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5:21 NLT)
When we trust in Christ, we make an
exchange: He takes our sin and makes us right with God. Our sin was laid on
Christ at His crucifixion. His righteousness was given to us at our conversion.
This is what Christians mean by Christ’s atonement for sin.
In the
world, bartering works when two people exchange goods of relatively equal
value. But God offers to trade His righteousness for our sin – something of
immeasurable worth for something completely worthless. How grateful we should
be for His kindness to us!

Study Bible”
