Jesus was made sin for us means Jesus was made a curse for us under the new covenant (grace) much like the curse of the law of the old covenant (works). It's by faith and not by the deeds of the law that we are justified and made righteous through that of Gods righteousness and not our own.

Jesus was made in the likeness of sinful flesh that we are now dead to the flesh as we walk in the newness of life as we have also risen with Christ and seek those things from above. God laid on Jesus all the sins of the world that Jesus remained sinless. Other words He who knew no sin had to have knowledge of sin in order to refrain from it. We are reconciled back to Gods grace that is Christ Jesus who is our mediator before God as we confess our sin before Him needing Gods grace to forgive us.
Isaiah 53:6,9; John 3:3-6; Romans 3:20;28; 8:3,4; Galatians 3:13; Colossians 3:1-4.

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

John 5: 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Some Christians believe in three different judgments:
1. judgment of sheep and goats - Matthew 25:31-33
2. judgment of believers works referred to as the bema seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10
3. judgement of unbelievers at the great white throne - Revelation 20:11-15

There are not three, but only one final judgment, but two different books opened at the great white throne judgment. Scripture is clear at this time of the great white throne judgment the books that are opened are the book of life where those who are of Christ will be judged for their deeds and receive their promised inheritance of eternal life with the Father as their names were found in the book of life. The other book that is opened is also Christ judgment, John 5:22; John 5:26, 27, of those whose deeds led them to reject Him and they are judged and receive their inheritance of eternal punishment in the lake of fire. God has commited all judgment unto Christ and at His second coming on the last day, John 6:40, all who are alive and asleep in their grave will hear the voice of Christ to rise, John 5:28, 29, and then final judgment is declared. Everyone will stand before God at the great white throne judgment to give an account of themselves as Christ will judge everyone for their deeds. Some will hear "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" and others will hear "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels".

When Christ returns on the last day, John 6:40, every eye will see Him come in the clouds the same way He ascended up to heaven, even those who pierced Him, Acts 1:11; Rev 1:7. Notice where it says even those who pierced Him as they are even now in their grave. On the last day the one and only resurrection of all who are in their grave will hear His voice and come forth out of their grave. They that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation, John 5:28, 29.

At the great white throne judgement Jesus will be seated on His throne of glory as God commits all judgment unto the Son, John 5:22. The books will be opened, including the Lamb's book of life, and all will be judged as Jesus will then gather all nations (people) before Him and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. The sheep will hear Jesus say: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world". The goats will hear Jesus say: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels", Matthew 25:31-46.

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
