How are we made to become the righteousness of God?

Answered in 1 source

We are made to become the righteousness of God through Christ's redemptive work and the work of the Holy Spirit.

The process of being made the righteousness of God is multi-faceted. It begins with God's eternal decree, where believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. Judicially, Christ's death satisfies the demands of the law and justifies us freely by His grace. In the new birth, the Holy Spirit creates faith within us, which connects us to the righteousness of Christ. Thus, our righteousness is not static but an ongoing reality in our lives as we grow in grace. Ultimately, this transformation is secured by God's promise and is a testament to His unchanging character and purpose in salvation.
